Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipe+Video
We have always liked chicken nuggets. This is fried chicken nuggets, a favorite of the whole family. Delicious, golden and crispy-these nuggets are even better than restaurants!
Can you beat homemade gold nuggets? I don’t think so! This version is great (along with our grilled chicken nuggets) and we like to pair it with homemade ranch sauce or fried sauce.
Homemade nuggets are the best nuggets
With six children, you better believe that we have eaten thousands of yuan in our lifetime. Most of them come from fast food restaurants and restaurants, because they like them so much, I decided to try the homemade version.
After coming up with a recipe and realizing how simple it is, we make dinner at least once or twice a month, and the children declare time and time again that they are better than anything they have eaten outside the house.
I’m glad they like homemade chicken nuggets, not only because it is a simple dinner idea, but also because it saves us several trips (and money) to local fast food restaurants.
Cooking substitutes
I think we all agree that fried food is great (including these nuggets). However, please see the baked version and the air fryer version below, they are equally good and have fewer calories.
- Baked gold nuggets: After being wrapped in breadcrumbs, place them on a metal rack and put them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Spray with olive oil spray and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Turn, spray and cook for another 8 minutes. Bake for a few more minutes until golden brown.
- Air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the basket with reserved spray. Arrange the gold nuggets in a single layer in the basket, making sure that the two sides do not touch. Spray the top of the gold nuggets with olive oil. Cook for about 7 minutes. Repeat for the remaining gold nuggets.
