These Baked Chicken Nuggets are easily my kids favorite! I mean what kid doesn’t love chicken nuggets, and I love making them homemade for them!
Baked Chicken Nuggets
My kids, like most, really love chicken nuggets! They are always my back up when I want to make something spicy or a little more adventures for dinner. I love making these Baked Chicken Nuggets and freezing them! This way when I’m in a pinch and need a quick lunch or dinner I have something on hand that I homemade.
And I’ll be honest when as an adult I still love a good chicken nugget! This is my favorite recipe for homemade nuggets. It’s classic and so simple to make. The only thing I don’t like about making chicken nuggets, the dishes! I think I hate dishes more than anything but I guess it’s well worth it! So start off with three bowls and a prepared baking dish.
Step one: In your first dish you want to add flour. Dip your chopped chicken into the flour.
Step Two: The next bowl is for whisked eggs. Take your chicken from the flour and dunk it in the egg.
Step Three: Last roll it in breadcrumbs. I add a little seasoning salt and dried parsley to my bread crumbs. You could really add any flavor. I’ve used lemon pepper before and it was really yummy!
Step Four: Once it’s all coated you can add them into a prepared baking dish and pop them in the oven!
Serving Suggestion: My kids love dipping their Baked Chicken Nuggets in ketchup but I usually have a side of hot sauce for mine =)

What’s the secret for re-heating from frozen?
I love making these and freezing them for my kids. When I freeze them though I usually lay them on a baking sheet to freeze separately fist. This way I can take out 4-5 at a time when we want to eat them. For reheating you can pop them back in the oven for a few minutes or even sit them in the stove to broil. We will pop ours into the microwave for a minute at a time until done from time to time also. Hope that helps Kristen!
