Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver Chicken Nuggets are bite-sized pieces of chicken breast or thigh coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and cooked until golden and crispy. They are simple, homemade alternatives to fast-food nuggets.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 600g boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thighs)

    • 1 cup plain flour

    • 2 eggs, beaten

    • 1½ cups breadcrumbs (panko preferred)

    • 1 teaspoon paprika

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for baking) or oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Cut chicken into evenly sized bite-sized pieces for consistent cooking.

Step 2: Set Up Coating Stations

Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.

Step 3: Coat the Nuggets

Dip each chicken piece first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs. Press gently so crumbs stick well.

Step 4: Choose Cooking Method

For baking, preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Place nuggets on a lined tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
For frying, heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 5: Cook

Bake for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through.
If frying, cook for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy and fully cooked.

Step 6: Serve

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
