Baked Chicken Nuggets Recipe
Adapt: Everyday Food, April 2012
Serves 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Bake Time: 12-14 minutes
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, (approximately 1 pound)
1 1/4 cup panko (bread crumbs)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
cooking spray
Spicy Ketchup Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons Sriracha or any spicy chili sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Method:
Combine all the ingredients for the Spicy Ketchup Dipping Sauce and chill.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the chicken into 1.5-2 inches pieces. Set on a dish.
Spread panko in a thin layer on rimmed baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.
Transfer the panko to a shallow dish and mix in the Parmesan and coarse salt. Drizzle the oil and mix well.
Set out the flour and eggs in separate dishes. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
Place a wire rack on the baking sheet, lightly coat with cooking spray.
In small batches, coat the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess, dip in egg, and lastly coat well with panko. Transfer to the rack.
Bake the chicken until desired tenderness, about 12-14 minutes, turning when halfway through. Serve nuggets with the Spicy Ketchup Dipping Sauce.

Thanks Bee, I’m sure that these would be a huge hit with my pre-schooler, actually the whole family!
Homemade nuggets beats McDonald’s any day. Gonna try this one for my girlfriend as she’s a nugget fan. Baked stuff is always better than the deep fat fryer anyway.
Hi Bee, do you have a Asian duck ( soup ) recipe ? Cook with sour/pickle vegetables and sour preserved plums…
Louis Yong Yes I do. My family makes it all the time, maybe I will shoot some pictures and post. LOL.
That’ll be nice. Wait to see it. Thanks! It’s still my favorite soup.
Hi Bee,
I already cook chicken nuggets from scratch for my hubby as he loves them, but I’ll be glad to try your recipe on him. It sounds delicious and home cooked is better than fast food junk.
Wow. even real chicken. The real deal beats the mystery meat found in the frozen junk any day.
Yummo!! I’m quite partial to Chicken Nuggets and this will be a guilt free way to enjoy them!
So true, Bee. I have made my own chicken nuggets few times but with pan-fry. Kids love it so much. Your version looks healthier n time saving.
Do you know if these freeze well? I’d love to make a batch or two up in advance and then dethaw as needed.
Yes, you can freeze them. Reheat them in the oven (not microwave) for best result.
