I always serve chicken nuggets with our honey mustard dipping sauce. Homemade nuggets deserve nothing but the best sauces for dipping. The chicken nuggets are done when the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees and they are lightly golden brown. The pieces should not be touching.īake for 20 minutes in a preheated 425 F degree oven. Place the breaded chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet. I typically use coconut oil spray for this recipe. Lightly brush or spray your baking sheet with oil. Use your hands to press the bread crumbs in, if needed. The nuggets should be fully coated with panko.
Then dip into the egg mixture before dropping each piece into the panko bread crumbs.Īllow any excess egg mixture to drip off before dipping it into the panko. Using a pair of tongs, drop each piece of chicken into the rice flour coating it well. If you made your own bread crumbs may want to give them a sprinkle of salt as well. The final bowl will contain panko bread crumbs. The second bowl will contain the beaten egg and any hot sauce you are using. The first bowl will contain the flour mixture of rice flour with salt, pepper, and paprika.
You will need three shallow bowls or plates. Meaning a flour coating, an egg dip, and then a final coating of bread crumbs. We are going to use the 3 dip method for our homemade chicken nuggets.
Try to get the pieces to be similarly sized for the most even baking possible.
BEST GLUTEN CHICKEN NUGGETS SKIN
To prepare the chicken, trim off any excess skin and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Brines help seal in moisture creating the juiciest chicken bites possible. We recommend brining chicken breasts in a basic salt water bath for one hour prior to cooking them. They are way too salty for the amount of coating on each piece. We do not recommend gluten-free pretzels or potato chips for this recipe.
