Bake the nuggets for 8 to 10 minutes, flip them, and continue baking for another 4 to 5 minutes. The exact time will depend on the size of the chicken pieces.
Can I make chicken tenders?
If you want to make chicken tenders, cut the breasts into long strips and bake them for a few extra minutes.
Can I make these chicken nuggets gluten-free?
Yes. Replace both the seasoned breadcrumbs and panko with gluten-free versions.
Can I make this recipe with shrimp?
Yes. Use one pound of extra large shrimp. The baking time should be about the same, but keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook.
Are these chicken nuggets egg-free?
Yes. Olive oil helps the breading adhere to the chicken, so no eggs are necessary.
