Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

JapaneseNon-vegetarian1500 min

Kids (and adults) will love these golden, crispy chicken nuggets, which are incredibly crispy thanks to an easy homemade gluten-free panko-style breading. Panko crumbs, or Japanese bread crumbs, are flake-like, coarsely ground bread crumbs used to make crisp, light fried foods and crumb toppings for casseroles. Pair these gluten-free chicken nuggets with a creative homemade sauce or simply with ketchup.
