The secret for homemade crispy baked chicken nuggets
1. We all know that having good quality breadcrumbs is essential for crispy chicken nuggets. Breadcrumbs are easy to prepare from scratch, but store-bought ones are just as fine. It is necessary to bake them before, so the chicken gets some extra crispiness.
2. Another important thing is having your oven preheated once you put the chicken nuggets to bake.
3. Last, cooking them on a wire rack to give them some extra crispiness is always good but not essential.
