Enjoy crispy, flavorful chicken nuggets without the guilt. These oven-baked bites are a healthier twist on a classic favorite. Packed with savory seasonings and a crunchy coating, they are perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-assisted) and lightly grease a baking tray with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the plain flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, place the beaten eggs.
In a third shallow dish, spread out the breadcrumbs.
Coat each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the coated chicken nuggets on the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
