Ultra-Crispy Baked Chicken Nuggets ### Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup crushed kettle-cooked chips (for crunch)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray (for a crispy finish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour, and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir to combine.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
In a third bowl, place the crushed kettle chips. This will be your crunchy coating.
Take each piece of chicken and first dip it into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, coat it in the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off, and finally press it into the crushed kettle chips, ensuring it is fully covered.
Place the coated chicken nuggets onto the baking sheet. Once all the chicken is coated, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Let the chicken nuggets cool for a few minutes before serving. These nuggets are best enjoyed fresh and can be paired with your favorite dipping sauces!
