Oven Baked Crunchy Chicken Nuggets
Home made Chicken nuggets are incredibly delicious! When your kids start requesting your home made chicken nuggets instead of fast food nuggets, you know that you’ve done good.
Ingredients
- 5 whole Boneless Skinless Chicken thighs
- 3 cups Panko
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
- 2 tsp Salt plus a pinch
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp White Pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Panko:
- In a large sautee pan, add oil and set burner to mediium low (you don't want to burn the Panko)
- Add in Panko, along with salt and pepper to taste. You will want to constantly stir the panko until golden brown. Be careful not to let the panko sit for too long as it could burn.
- Once the panko has browned, set it to the side to cool for about an hour. (you don't want the panko to be hot when coating your chicken)
Making the Nuggets:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Put your eggs and flour in seperate, medium sized bowls and stir the eggs until they are scrambled.
- Cut up chicken thighs into medium small portions (personal preference on nugget size or about 2-3 inch in length)
- Make sure the chicken is dry and not wet before starting this next part
- Dip the chicken pieces in flour, then egg, and then the panko and place them on a foil lined baking sheet.
- When finished covering the chicken with panko, place them in the oven for 12 min.
- After 12 minutes, turn the chicken over and place back in the oven for another 12 minutes.
- Chicken should be in for a total of 24 min. Once done, take them out and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or eat them plain with some rice and a vegetable on the side
Notes
If you don't brown the panko before hand it will not become golden brown in the oven.
