Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breast

  • 1 lb (450g) Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Potato Chips

  • 2 cups (about 150g) Potato Chips, crushed (flavor of your choice)

Eggs

  • 2 large Eggs, beaten

Flour

  • 1 cup (125g) All-Purpose Flour

Spices

  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: additional spices (e.g., paprika, garlic powder)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that everything is ready for a smooth cooking process.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly and make them perfect for popping into your mouth.
  3. Set Up Your Dredging Station: In one bowl, place the flour mixed with your chosen spices. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, crush the potato chips until they are fine crumbs.
  4. Dredge the Chicken: Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off before finally coating it in the crushed potato chips.
  5. Bake the Nuggets: Place the coated chicken nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Chips: Freshly opened potato chips will yield the best crunch and flavor.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Give each nugget space to allow for even baking and crispiness.
  • Experiment with Chip Flavors: Don’t hesitate to try different flavored chips for a unique twist.
  • Keep an Eye on Cooking Time: Ovens vary, so check for doneness a few minutes before the timer goes off.
  • Let Them Rest: Allow the nuggets to cool slightly before serving to maintain their crispiness.
