ACCIDENTALLY THE BEST BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS EVER



Accidentally the Best Baked Chicken Nuggets Ever image

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 for Making the Best Baked Chicken Ever:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a whole chicken or bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for juicier and more flavorful results.
  • Dry the Chicken Thoroughly: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking to ensure crispy skin.
  • Generously Season the Chicken: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and any other desired spices to create a flavorful crust.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After baking, allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving or serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and moist chicken.
  • Roast Vegetables with the Chicken: Toss vegetables like carrots, potatoes, onions, or Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them alongside the chicken for a complete and flavorful meal.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a mouthwatering baked chicken that is both juicy and flavorful. Experiment with different seasonings and sides to find your perfect combination. Whether you prefer a classic roasted chicken with vegetables or a more adventurous dish with a flavorful marinade, the possibilities are endless. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in the best baked chicken you've ever tasted!
