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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
