Hmm… yea… if your chicken is really wet then just pat it dry with a paper towel. The flour should be a super-light coating just to help the egg stick to it.

Butter helps with the browning but is also just delicious. You could leave it out or drizzle with olive oil though also. Good luck!

Ohhh I’m sooo full!! I just ate a mountain of these! For some reason, mine didn’t look as crispy as yours. Did you dry your chicken before adding flour? When I added flour, some of it ended up being batter-like. Does adding butter help brown it too?

Made these for my roommates tonight! used italian bread crumbs (because I had them on hand vs Panko) and my roommates loved them! Thank you so much for this website! I love it so much, when I plan meals, this is where I turn!

I think you could definitely freeze them. I could bake them first and then freeze them. Just make sure to let them cool completely then wrap them well in foil and put them in a freezer bag. They should keep fine for a few weeks.

Your best bet for reheating is probably the oven so they stay crispy, but the microwave would work in a pinch I guess.

Do you think I could make them then freeze them? I hate to give my son processed chicken nuggets but he loves them…….

No comparison to how much BETTER these are for you than McDonald's(they look/sound delicious too)! I just read an article that McDonald's nuggets have 20(!) ingredients(MOSTLY preservatives)! Burger King was even worse-30 ingredients!

Hah! We do this, too! Well, so far we’ve only done it with one thing: the Egg McMuffin. I woke up one morning craving it SOMETHING FIERCE and we luckily had everything on hand (even the Kraft Singles cheese, which is rare in our household). It blew my husband’s mind that we could make this stuff at home. Though he kind of does his own thing with the eggs (he scrambles them; rather than frying or poaching or whatever it actually is McDonalds does). And I’m still working on getting my hash browns up to a level where I feel comfortable feeding them to someone other than my husband…fun post!

I like the use of fresh basil! Have several boxes of Panko crumbs, so might just have to do something like this, but with chicken breasts: not a fan of dark meat.

The best part is — it IS fast food.
These really do look good. And the fact that they’re not deep-fried is a big bonus.

LOVE the whole wheat panko. So good.
