Toast: Bake in preheated oven 3 – 5 minutes until slightly toasted and golden brown. Spread into an even layer on a baking sheet (wiggle baking sheet to level as needed). Toss panko with oil: Pour panko into a mound on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toss with fingertips to evenly moisten. Set a large wire rack over an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet, spray rack with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven, prepare baking sheet: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Eggs: This acts as the “glue” to help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken.Salt and pepper: I like to season both the egg mixture and the breadcrumb mixture.Paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme and cayenne pepper: These spices add a nice background flavor that pairs well with the chicken.Olive oil: This is added to moisten the bread crumbs a little and help brown them.You can usually find them by the traditional bread crumbs or near Asian foods. Panko bread crumbs: These Japanese style bread crumbs are what make the chicken nuggets so crispy.Boneless skinless chicken breast: Trimmed thighs will work here too, they’ll just need to bake a little longer.Pair them with a side salad or oven baked fries and you’ve got a delicious lunch or dinner everyone will want on repeat! They’re the perfect finger food for dunking in your favorite dip (see below for ideas) and they’re perfectly hearty and filling. These are easy to make chicken nuggets too! No tending to pieces as they cook. Made 100% with real chicken breast and no deep frying. They’re a million times better than what you’d get at a fast food restaurant and far healthier.
