Cracker Crusted Chicken Nuggets

Initially, the word "nugget" had nothing to do with slices of chicken breast in a perfect breading. This word appeared during the gold rush: this is how gold nuggets were called. And only 100 years later, nuggets began to be called a dish that instantly won the hearts of Americans, and then successfully spread to other countries, by the way, not without the help of McDonald's.

Cracker Crusted Chicken Nuggets - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute the grated cheese with any meltable cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or even Parmesan for a sharper flavor. Just ensure it's finely grated for even coating.
Store leftover nuggets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
Absolutely! Replace regular crackers with gluten-free crackers and use a gluten-free flour blend for coating. Ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
Use oils with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil for frying. They’ll give a crispier texture without burning.
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) on a greased tray for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through. Spray with oil for extra crispiness.
Swap chicken with firm tofu, tempeh, or cauliflower florets. Adjust cooking time as needed, especially for vegetables.
Yes! Freeze uncooked breaded nuggets on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Fry or bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to cook time.
Try ranch, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or a spicy sriracha mayo. A cheese dip complements the cheesy crust perfectly.
Replace crackers with crushed pork rinds or almond flour, and skip the flour coating. Use a low-carb cheese option for binding.
Yes, cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes or strips for even cooking. Adjust frying time slightly if pieces are larger.
