Spoon and Chopsticks: Oven Baked Chicken Nuggets

Oven Baked Chicken Nuggets

Saturday, December 17, 2011 - Posted by Spoon and Chopsticks

I've heard about chicken nuggets being made with mechanically recovered meat (MRM). I've tried making my own chicken nuggets. They are very easy to make with only few ingredients. You have a choice of adding your favourite herbs and spices. My oven baked chicken nuggets are healthier, cheaper and tastier than the store-bought chicken nuggets.

Ingredients:

350g boneless chicken, cut into small pieces
1 egg, beaten
3-4 tbsp flour for coating
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 tbsp mixed Italian herbs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil spray

Preparation:

Mix chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Keep aside.
Mix Italian herbs with bread crumbs.
Prepare oven tray by spraying with olive oil.
First coat the chicken with flour. Then coat with egg. Finally coat well with bread crumbs.
Place the chicken on the oven tray. Spray some olive oil on top of the chicken.
Bake it in pre-heated oven at 200°C for about 20-25 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken.

I do worry with those frozen nuggets wondering what chemical the manufacturer puts in unless it labelled as real meat. Homemade nuggets may take a bit of time but it certainly taste a lot better!
