Homemade Chicken Nuggets

This is the sort of recipe where you throw everything in one bowl and mix. I was aiming for kid-friendly, but honestly, my husband and I pounded these adorable nuggets of flavor very nicely too. We definitely deserved dessert.

Easy Meat

Contains: Egg, Soy, Gluten, Wheat

Directions

  1. Place onion and jalapeño in a food processor and pulse. Add the rest of the

    ingredients and pulse until everything is just combined.

  2. Using a spoon, spread overflowing spoonfuls of the chicken mixture on a baking sheet in the shape of chicken nuggets.

  3. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the fridge for one hour.

  4. Meanwhile, mix coating ingredients in a plate and set aside.

  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

  6. Remove chicken from the fridge or freezer and coat in the panko mixture on all sides. Put them back on the baking sheet and spray liberally with cooking spray. Bake for 23–25 minutes on convection bake; if you don’t have convection, flip the nuggets halfway through the cooking process.

  7. Dunk nuggets in ketchup or honey-mustard dip and enjoy!

Notes:
If you don’t have time to chill the chicken, sprinkle the crumbs directly on the nuggets in the pan and use a spoon to gently flip over each nugget to coat the other side. You might need more of the coating with
this method.

Delicious! Love that these are baked and not fried!

Yes! Easier to just throw this in the oven than fry the chicken pieces one by one, plus it's a tad bit healthier.
