INGREDIENTS
2 lbs chicken breasts (cubed into nugget-sized pieces)
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
2 eggs (beaten)
½ cup Frank's RedHot Sauce (or to taste)
Feel free to try them all, or just do one of the mixes. We like to create a charcuterie board, of sorts!
For each seasoning mix:
Parmesan Garlic Nuggets:
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
Dano’s Crunchy Nuggets:
⅓ cup Dano's Seasoning (A low-sodium, all-natural seasoning with herbs like rosemary, garlic, onion, lemon, and nutritional yeast for added crunch and flavor)
Optional: 1 tsp additional nutritional yeast for extra crunch
Parmesan Nashville Hot Nuggets:
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1-2 tsp Nashville Hot Chicken Seasoning (adjust to your heat preference)
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the Chicken: Cube the chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces.
Prepare the Egg Wash: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with Frank's RedHot sauce.
Coat the Chicken:
Divide the chicken into three equal portions.
Parmesan Garlic Nuggets: In one bowl, mix Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Coat ⅓ of the chicken nuggets in this mixture after dipping in the egg wash.
Dano’s Crunchy Nuggets: Coat the second ⅓ of the chicken nuggets in Dano's Seasoning after dipping in the egg wash.
Parmesan Nashville Hot Nuggets: In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan and Nashville hot seasoning. Coat the remaining chicken in this mix after the egg wash.
Air Frying: Place the coated chicken nuggets into the air fryer at 375°F (190°C). Cook for 16-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Serve: Let the nuggets cool for a minute and serve with your choice of dipping sauce! We paired these yummies with Red Hot Cucumbers and Celery with Bolthouse Ranch Dressing on the side!
