Homemade Chicken Nuggets
Easy and delicious chicken nuggets - made from scratch and then baked until golden brown!
Ingredients
- 16 oz ground chicken
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 3 eggs (2 whisked)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- parsley for topping (optional)
- ketchup or BBQ sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, combine one egg with the ground chicken. Mix until the egg is completely incorporated into the ground chicken.
- Measure about 2 tablespoons of the ground chicken into small ball shapes. Gently flatten to be about a half inch thick.
- Separate the remaining eggs (whisked), flour and bread crumbs into separate bowls. Stir the garlic powder, onion powder and salt into the bread crumbs.
- Dredge the ground chicken first in flour, then in whisked egg, then in breadcrumbs. Repeat as desired for thicker breading around the ground chicken.
- Arrange the breaded chicken onto a baking sheet lined with silicone or greased foil. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, flipping midway through, until the chicken nuggets are golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
