Chicken Nuggets

** Use Elis' suggestion to make flat nuggets then top w/ marinara and prov for mini chicken parmesans :)

I've done this with store bought ground turkey and with chicken breast that I ground using my KitchenAid attachment. The flavor of both is great. The texture of the ground chicken was much better. The turkey was a bit mushy. I've also baked these and pan fried like the instructions, and the pan method is more work but is worth it.

This recipe didn’t really hit the mark for us. My husband and I both found the flavor to be a little blah and my toddler barely took a bite. I was really excited to try these but I don’t see us ever making them again.

I liked these! Very easy to put together and a very satisfying meal. Served with potatoes and ate leftovers with a salad. Would make an excellent kid snack curious how Mr Frenemy the Air Frier would work.

These nuggets were delicious! I cooked them in the air fryer at 400 after drizzling olive oil on both sides. I turned them over halfway through. I didn’t keep track of how long on each side, but checked until they were browned and crispy. Served with honey, bbq sauce and Dijon mustard to dip in.

I'm an adult who loves both meatballs and chicken nuggets so I had to make this. I found it in between both and therefore not as good as either. The "nuggets" were so plain tasting -- they needed to be completely doused in ketchup to be edible. Next time I'll just make homemade chicken nuggets. (Note: did the method where I pan-fried to crisp the panko and then baked for doneness so I didn't have to keep flipping / monitoring.)

These were so good! A definite keeper and far better than any chicken nuggets I’ve tasted before. I added minced onion to the mix and baked them in the oven.

This is a staple in my house, and often requested. A rare one where the kids want seconds, and enjoy leftovers, too.

Parents of particular eaters, try this recipe!! Perfect. Made it just as written, and 2 tentative eaters devoured them!!! It was nice to have a recipe that is simple in flavors but still delicious. We can finally leave Dino bites behind!! (No hate on anyone living that Dino bite life, it's gotten me through many busy school/work nights!) This was the perfect step for my kids to give a familiar food with a little pizzazz. And I loved them too! ....

Reduced panko in the meatballs to 1/2 cup; the chicken mixture is "soft," the cooked nuggets are tender. Added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes to meatballs (resisted trying to make them any "fancier"). Flattened the meatballs slightly. Used 2 quarter sheet pans (easy to fit in fridge). Roasted at 400F on parchment brushed with melted butter for about 15 mins, turning after 8 mins, until 165F. Served with Naz Deravian's Fresh Ranch Dip, raw veggies, and naan for a fun, snacky dinner.

Can these be frozen and reheated?

Alternatively, lean in to the chicken nugget vibe and form them into flat pucks. Follow the rest of the directions but cook each side for 4-6 minutes and you’re done. Requires a lot less flipping and tending.

Tonight was the second time I’ve made these. I make them in the oven, but this time instead of balls, I turned them into nuggets. I breaded them with the panko mixture and then flattened and shaped them into nuggets and served them with dipping sauces. Everyone loved them.

I’m forever looking for ground chicken recipes. This one is a keeper. More than a keeper. Into the 5 man rotation. I made them in the oven, with everyone’s suggestions, and they were crispy and cheesy and delicious. Served them with pasta and sautéed zucchini and onions. Can’t stop eating then.

I'll try it again in case it was user error, but my results looked nothing like the photo. The first batch I put in the skillet stuck to the pan, destroying the shape & causing them to cook unevenly. I put the next batch in the oven. They retained their shape and cooked thoroughly.
