BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS



Baked Chicken Nuggets image

Nuggets are a home run with kids, but admit it, you love them too. These are baked, so you can enjoy them guilt-free. A three-step breading method -- coating chicken pieces in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs -- seals in moisture and gives a crisp crunch without a lot of added fat.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
Honey Mustard or Spicy Ketchup, for serving (see Cook's Notes below)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Spread panko on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish, then add Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt; drizzle with oil and stir to combine.
  • Place flour and eggs in separate shallow dishes. Increase temperature to 450 degrees.
  • Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet; lightly coat rack with cooking spray. In batches, coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg, then coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Place on rack.
  • Bake until chicken is cooked through, 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve nuggets with sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results.
  • Cut the chicken into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a classic flavor.
  • Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help the breading stick to the chicken.
  • Dip the chicken in beaten egg. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken in bread crumbs. Use a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley for a flavorful coating.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.
