Tips and Variations
- You can add some grated parmesan cheese or dried herbs to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
- If you prefer, you can fry the chicken nuggets in hot oil instead of baking them. Just make sure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F) and cook the nuggets until golden brown and crispy.
- You can use chicken thighs or a mix of white and dark meat for more flavor and juiciness.
- Make a big batch and freeze the chicken nuggets for later. Just reheat them in the oven or microwave for a quick and easy snack or meal.
