My kids love ketchup. They can and have made whole meals out of ketchup. Sometimes I like to mix it up and add actual food to ketchup feasts. And what goes better then homemade chicken nuggets? Chicken nuggets and ketchup go together like mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, lamb and tuna fish. [I couldn’t help myself.] Today Im going to share my super secret homemade chicken nugget recipe that will sure to please even the pickiest eater.
You need 5 things to make these nuggets – boneless, skinless chicken breasts, flour, egg, panko and oil.
They secret to really crispy chicken nuggets is how you bread them. First you roll the chicken in flour, then coat it with egg and then cover it in panko.
Flour –> Egg –> Panko = Crispy chicken nuggets.
Then you fry them until they are golden brown and there is no pink left.
The panko turns out so crispy and the inside is still juicy.
Honestly, my husband likes these more then my kids do. My kids use them for scooping ketchup into their mouths. I also use the nuggets to make my chicken Parmesan sliders. Two great meals that are easy and taste great with ketchup.

This looks great. I’ll have to try this recipe! It’s always nice to discover a new method of conveying ketchup from plate to mouth! My daughter LOVES ketchup too.

Your kids must somehow have my genes in them. I am notorious for eating certain foods just to have ketchup. I’ve even resorted to sitting on the couch and squeezing ketchup out of the bottle onto my finger just because I want it. This recipe looks amazing and it will obviously give me an excuse to eat ketchup. I love it!
Kelley says
LOL! I hope you try it.. if not just for the ketchup 😉
