Important Parmesan Crusted Nuggets Recipe Variations and Pro Cooking Methods

Nuggets made with chicken breast are the go-to for these Parmesan-cr croutons, but if you're running low, dark meat works just as well. Before breading, chicken thighs, with or without the bone, must be skinless and cut into 1-inch pieces. Before using, remember to wash your hands and properly clean and disinfect your cooking area and utensils.

To give your Parmesan croutons more taste, use a variety of shredded cheeses. As an alternative to pre-shredded cheese, use freshly grated cheese since it melts much better. To ensure that the breading mixture adheres properly to the chicken, pat it dry before breading it.

For tastier Parmesan cheese croutons, use homemade bread crumbs. Simply dry out some extra bread and run it through your food blender until it becomes a fine powder.
