Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the breadcrumbs on a large baking sheet and spray with a little olive oil. Place in the oven and bake for 2 minutes, stir the breadcrumbs and return to the oven to bake for a further 2-3 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Transfer the breadcrumbs to a bowl and add the salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Set aside.
- Line the large baking sheet with baking paper and place a wire rack over it. Grease the rack with olive oil.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg/milk mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture, until evenly coated. Place the chicken directly onto the wire rack.
- Generously spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray. Place the chicken into the hot oven to bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and golden.
- Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite sauce (not included in nutritional breakdown).
