Our baked chicken nuggets are much better than fried versions. Toasting the panko breadcrumbs first ensures an extra-crispy, golden crust.

Instructions
- 01
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut chicken into 2-inch pieces.

Spread panko on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish, then add Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt; drizzle with oil and stir to combine.
- 03
Increase temperature to 450°F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet; lightly coat rack with cooking spray. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow dishes.

In batches, coat chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip in egg, then coat with panko, pressing to adhere. Place on rack.

Bake until chicken is cooked through, 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve nuggets with sauce.
