Baked Spicy Chicken Nuggets



I love chicken nuggets, but refuse to eat them from any fast food or restaurant because it's not real meat! Here's a great solution for your chicken nugget cravings.

1 lb chicken tenders (you can cut them into chunks to make nuggets or leave them whole)
1 cup flour (seasoned with 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and garlic powder)
1-2 egg(s), beaten
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil

**Honey Mustard- gotta have it!

1/4 cup mayo (real, no miracle whip)!
1 tbs. mustard
1 tbs. honey

**Whisk altogether and put in fridge until ready to use.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, and lightly oil a large baking sheet.

In 3 shallow bowls, put the flour in one, egg in the other, and panko in the last one. (I also like to shake the chicken with the flour in a large bag and then do the egg and panko, I think it's a little faster).

Pat dry the chicken with paper towels and start dipping.

With one hand, dredge the chicken in the flour first, followed by the egg, and then coat well with the panko. Put it on the pan, and repeat, repeat, repeat.

When all your yummy tenders are on the pan, brush each piece of chicken with a dab of oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flip them over, and continue baking until crispy (about 10 more min). Side note: if you made little nuggets, you will not need to bake them as long. Enjoy!
