Dino Nugget Ingredients
Method
Dino Nugget Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- 2
Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Trim any excess fat and cut into nugget-sized pieces (about 1 1/2 inches). If desired, use a dinosaur-shaped cookie cutter to press the pieces into fun Dino shapes.
- 3
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to make the dry coating.
- 4
In a second shallow dish, whisk eggs with the milk to form an egg wash.
- 5
In a third shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
- 6
Dredge each nugget in the flour mixture, coating evenly. Tap off excess.
- 7
Dip the floured nugget into the egg wash, ensuring all sides are coated.
- 8
Roll the egg-coated nugget in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until fully coated and press gently to help the coating adhere.
- 9
Place coated nuggets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Leave space between pieces for even browning.
- 10
Lightly spray the tops of the nuggets with cooking spray to promote browning.
- 11
Bake for 12-15 minutes, then flip the nuggets and bake an additional 6-8 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
