My boys LOVE chicken nuggets, they order them at almost every meal when we get a chance to dine at a restaurant. However, they can definitely vary in taste from each restaurant. These are a great alternative to fried chicken nuggets or nuggets you can pick up at your local fast-fed joint. With these baked parmesan chicken nuggets, you can actually pronounce all the ingredients that go into your food.
Not only that but the kids can help you make them by getting their hands a little dirty. Once everything is ready to go and your ingredients are prepared.
The kids can help you coat the nuggets and get them ready for baking. It is a great way to show them that not all chicken is created equal and that these amazing Baked Parmesan Chicken Nuggets will not only taste better but will be better for them and are made right at home. For this recipe, we prefer the Panko bread crumbs as they add additional texture.
