Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F degrees and set a cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet.
In a wide, shallow bowl, stir together crushed cornflakes, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Place cornstarch in a second bowl and beaten eggs in a third bowl.
Coat chicken piece in cornstarch.
Next, dip them in the eggs.
Lastly coat in the cornflake mixture. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Transfer to the cooling rack atop the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of the nuggets with canola oil spray.
Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through, and an internal temperature of 165F degrees.
Notes
Putting a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet allows air to circulate all around the nuggets to help all sides get crispy. If you don't have a cooling rack, just use a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
You can use chicken tenderloins or boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead.
These can be frozen, see above how to do that.
These can be made in the air fryer, see above on how to do that.
