1 cup Japanese bread crumbs
Roll the raw chicken nuggets in the panko bread crumbs and place on a baking sheet.
Arrange the chicken nuggets in an even layer on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each piece. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip, and continue to cook for 20 minutes or until golden brown and chicken is cooked through!
Serve with ketchup or your favorite condiments!

Notes

Air Fryer Option: Preheat the air fryer to 385°F (140°C). Combine and shape the nuggets as usual. Then, working in batches, arrange them in an even layer in a greased air fryer basket. Air fry for 20 minutes or until completely cooked, flipping halfway through.
