Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup pickle juice
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper and brush some olive oil over the surface of the paper. This will keep the nuggets from sticking to the pan.
- Form ground meat into 20 small round chicken nuggets.
- Prep your breading bowls – in one bowl, whisk together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, fresh dill, flour, and panko bread crumbs. In another bowl, whisk together egg and pickle juice.
- First dip a chicken nugget in egg, then coat it in bread crumb breading mixture. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cook in a preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown, flipping over halfway through. Let the nuggets cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet. Use a spatula to gently lift the nuggets from the pan.
- Serve with ketchup, BBQ sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
