Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 475. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. 2. Add the chicken pieces to a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over top. Mix well and set aside. 3. In a large zip-lock bag, mix together the grated zucchini, crushed cornflakes, cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. 4. Drop each piece of chicken into the bag and shake until pieces are coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken has been coated then pray each nugget with non-stick spray (so they don't burn). 5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then gently flip using kitchen tongs and spray the other side. Bake for 10-12 minutes more, then remove from oven and serve with dipping sauce of choice (I used Ranch dressing). navywifecook.com
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken nuggets are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken nuggets in the breadcrumb mixture.
- To make the nuggets ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the nuggets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the nuggets in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
