Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets Recipe

I have been wanting to make homemade chicken nuggets for months now. The freezer going kaput kind of forced me into making them! Chicken nuggets are pretty easy to make. The worst part is handling the gooey raw chicken- ewww! But the results were fantastic! I love the fact that the boys like the nuggets and they are free from artificial ingredients and they are baked!

The first step is to grind up boneless skinless chicken breasts. I used the food processor attachment to my hand blender. You want the chicken finely chopped but still with some texture to it.

I use a baking rack to cook the nuggets on so they cook evenly. They look like “real” store bought nuggets don’t they? My boys loved them!

Notes

* If you don't want to process your own chicken, buy ground chicken at the store. * Placing the nuggets on a baking rack will help them cook evenly. If you don't have a rack, place on a baking sheet and flip halfway through cooking. * For freezing: After baking, cool completely. Place on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer for an hour. Remove from baking sheet and place in freezer bags. To heat, place frozen nuggets on baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 15-17. * Remember when working with raw chicken the clean the working surface and all utensils well after use!
