Print Recipe
These super delicious homemade ground chicken nuggets are so tempting – crispy outside and tender inside. Make them in the oven or Air Fryer for healthy appetizers or snacks or to serve as a side. These are way better than restaurant ones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2–3 small garlic cloves finely minced
  • 3 tablespoon finely chopped parsley divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper divided
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • salt
  • tablespoon cooking oil use oil spray

Instructions

Making nuggets

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt; mix well.
  2. In another small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with parsley, black pepper, and salt; mix well.
  3. Scoop out 1 tablespoon ground chicken and drop it in the seasoned breadcrumbs. Sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top and gently tap to form flat nuggets. Flip it a few times in the breadcrumbs for even coating.

Air Fryer nuggets

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 360F.
  2. Place breaded nuggets on the Air Fryer basket and cook them for 10-12 mins or until they get the desired color and texture.
  3. Keep checking every minute after 9 mins of cooking. There is no need to flip them. They get a nice golden brown color on both sides in the Air Fryer.

Notes

  1. Optionally, add some parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs for enhanced taste. It will also help to develop a nice crust on the nuggets.
  2. You can skip the broiling step if you want. However, broiling helps to develop a golden brown color on the nuggets. Turn on the oven light and monitor while the nuggets are broiling. If left unattended, they can quickly burn at that high temperature.
  3. While cooking in the Air Fryer, do not overcrowd the basket. You may need to cook them in batches for better results.
  4. These nuggets taste amazing and crispy when they are fresh.
