Combine the Ingredients

To prepare your ground chicken nuggets recipe, start by adding ground chicken to a large bowl. Mix in the egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined into a smooth mixture.

Shape the Nuggets

Scoop out a small portion of the mixture and shape it into nugget-sized pieces. Flatten them slightly for even cooking. Set them aside on a plate as you finish forming the rest of the nuggets.

Coat the Nuggets

Set up a coating station with three separate plates one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs. Dip each nugget in the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. This step ensures a crispy exterior.

Fry or Bake

Frying: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry nuggets in batches until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside (about 3-4 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.

Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway.

Serve and Enjoy!

Once cooked, serve your ground chicken nuggets recipe warm with your favorite dips like ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
