Tips and Techniques
- Try to cut the chicken as evenly sized as possible. This helps ensure that all of the chicken nuggets cook at the same rate.
- If preferred, you can use seasoned panko or gluten free bread crumbs.
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days. Leftovers are best reheated in the oven.
