Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add panko breadcrumbs to a large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Spray breadcrumbs with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 2 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs (or just give the pan a shake) and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep heat in the oven.
- Transfer breadcrumbs to a medium bowl. Whisk in spices: salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Set aside.
- Line the large baking sheet with an oven safe wire metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, then use a tong to grab each chicken nugget and toss into the breadcrumb mixture to completely coat with breadcrumbs. Use tongs to transfer to the wire rack, placing about 1 inch apart.
- Generously spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and temp reaches 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer. Serves 4. Serve with BBQ sauce, honey mustard, ketchup or whatever sauce you'd like!

BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS
Nuggets are a home run with kids, but admit it, you love them too. These are baked, so you can enjoy them guilt-free. A three-step breading method -- coating chicken pieces in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs -- seals in moisture and gives a crisp crunch without a lot of added fat.

ACCIDENTALLY THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS EVER
Accidentally discovered this while playing around with Chinese restaurant classics. My nugget-expert daughter loved them. I use the marinade from http://www.recipezaar.com/Sweet-and-Sour-Pork-43587 (minus the extra salt) and the flouring and baking technique from http://www.recipezaar.com/Baked-Lemon-Chicken-With-Chinese-Lemon-Sauce-194890. The chicken works great with either sauce but my picky kid just loved the chicken by itself. Infact she liked it so much I had to post the recipe. All measurements are approximate; vary the spices based upon your own taste.

Tips:
- Use a combination of chicken breasts and thighs. This will give your nuggets a more flavorful and juicy texture.
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. This will ensure that the nuggets cook evenly.
- Season the chicken with your favorite spices. I like to use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
- Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken.
- Coat the chicken in beaten eggs. This will help the breading stay on the chicken.
- Roll the chicken in bread crumbs. You can use regular bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs.
- Bake the chicken nuggets at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Flip the nuggets halfway through cooking.
- Serve the chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to serve mine with honey mustard or barbecue sauce.
