How to Make Baked Chicken Nuggets
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a zip-top plastic bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
- In a shallow dish, melt 1/4 cup butter.
- Dip each chicken piece in the melted butter, then add a few at a time to the breadcrumb mixture in the bag.
- Seal the bag and shake gently to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place the coated chicken nuggets in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the nuggets are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
