How to prepare Chicken Nuggets in the oven
To prepare this recipe you need chicken breast nuggets that you can buy ready-made or cut from a whole chicken breast into pieces of more or less the same size.
Prepare the batter: pour the flour into a bowl. Gradually add the cold water while stirring with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
Transfer the cornflakes into a food bag and simply crush them with your hands to reduce them to smaller pieces. Using kitchen tongs, dip the chicken nuggets first in the batter and then in a bowl with cornflakes.
Let the cereal adhere around the chicken. As you prepare them, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Oil them on the surface.
Cook the Chicken Nuggets in the hot oven at 375°F in static mode for 20-22 minutes. At the end of cooking, salt them lightly.
