This recipe simply just works on every level – easy to make, kid friendly, nice on the wallet, and it is yummy to boot! You can use gluten free bread crumbs to make this gluten free as well 🙂 Mr.Savvy has eaten up to 30 ( yes 30 ) of these “famous” chicken nuggets at a time.

What I like to do is make the recipe when I get a good deal on chicken and freeze the cooked nuggets so Mr.Savvy can have a snack whenever he wants 🙂

They can be breaded in advance and fried or baked later in the day , or just bread and fry them the night before and just microwave them!

What You Need

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs ( or gluten free bread crumbs)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder ( not shown in picture above)
  • Salt and pepper ( a couple pinches of each)
  • 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil

What To Do

Mix Egg and Milk together

In a large bowl soak chicken in the egg mixture.

In a bowl combine panko, pepper, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Take a cookie sheet and place paper towels on top.

Heat oil in a pan and add chicken ( after you roll it in the panko mixture) – cook till golden brown ( 5 minutes each side)

Transfer chicken to the paper towel to cool.

Enjoy

Again these freeze very well – you can also bake these bad boys at 350 for about 15 minutes.

    How nice
I’m able to print it off instead of writing it down or copy/pasting!!! Thank you!

    I have been doing this for a while! I actually throw mine in seasoned (s&p) flour first, then egg/milk or buttermilk, and then panko and seasonings. I always change mine up too, sometimes it will be more savory with thyme, basil, and rosemary; but the other day I made them a lot more like this but with cumin and ground roasted corriander when I was done we tossed it in a butter and Franks red hot sauce for amazing buffalo chicken bites!! They tasted just like Chili’s boneless buffalo wings!! Served them on salad with home made ranch and it was a fantastic satisfying dinner!

  • Valerie Zitzman

    I think you maybe left out the step of rolling or dipping the chicken bites into the crumb coating
..but they look delicious!

  • Jessica Starkman

    I’m making this for the Superbowl! I am substituting soy milk for dairy milk due to dietary restrictions and seasoned breadcrumbs because I don’t have a good track record with cayenne pepper. So far so good!

  • Danielle

    I can’t wait to try

  • Amanda Talbert

    We’ve been making these for years too; also I also add Parmesan cheese (just about 1/4 cup) and a tbsp or so of parsley. But I’m curious – in all the years I’ve been making them I’ve been scared to try to freeze them. How do you do that? Would LOVE to know so I can have them on hand all the time!

  • Tierra

    How do you freeze these?

  • Bethany Foster

    How long would you recommend the baking time to be? I’m trying to stay away from cooking things in oil if there is another way!! 🙂 I’m excited to try this recipe out on the hubby!!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Depends on the thickness of the chicken. I would say 10 minutes in a 350 oven for each side – have a test nugget to cut through and make sure it is fully cooked.
