Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the oven rack in the center position.
- In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper; stir to mix.
- Add the 10 frozen chicken nuggets to the bowl and toss or stir until each nugget is evenly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
- Arrange the coated nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet, leaving space between each nugget so they are not touching.
- Bake on the center rack for 25–30 minutes, turning the nuggets once about halfway through the cooking time (approximately 12–15 minutes) for even browning.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven when the nuggets are golden brown and crispy, let them rest 1–2 minutes, then serve hot with your preferred dips.
Notes
Always spread the chicken nuggets out so that they heat can circulate well around the chicken nugget. If they are too close together, then they will simply steam and they will not be crispy.
Apply a thin coat of oil to each chicken nugget as well as a few spices and salt and pepper. This will result in a crispy and tasty crunch for your chicken nugget.
Buy the best quality chicken nuggets you can afford, these will always taste the best.
