Crispy Baked Italian Garlic Parmesan Chicken Nuggets Recipe Is Exceptional by 30Seconds Food
Chicken nuggets are always a family pleaser. This easy chicken nuggets recipe is seasoned with garlic, Parmesan and Italian spices then baked to crispy, golden perfection. Kids and adults will love them!
The boneless chicken is first dipped into a garlic butter, then into a breadcrumb coating made with Parmesan cheese, garlic salt and Italian seasoning. The chicken is baked in the oven for about 15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. You can use boneless chicken breast or thighs for this homemade nuggets recipe. Chicken thighs do tend to stay moister than breasts, so keep that in mind.
Serve this budget-friendly recipe with your favorite dipping sauces, like ranch, fry sauce, Cajun dipping sauce or copycat Chick-fil-a sauce. These could be made ahead and reheated or even frozen.
