American · Main course · 27 min total

Crispy homemade chicken nuggets with a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce, perfect for a quick dinner or party snack.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• Cooking spray or oil for baking
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Place flour in a third shallow bowl.
4. Dip each chicken piece into flour, shaking off excess, then into egg mixture, then into panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
5. Place nuggets on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray tops with cooking oil.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
7. Meanwhile, make dipping sauce: whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth.
8. Serve nuggets warm with sauce on the side.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
• Substitute chicken thighs for juicier nuggets.
• Store leftover nuggets in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer.
• Double the sauce recipe for extra dipping.
