Herbed Chicken Nuggets
Herbed Chicken Nuggets bake up tender inside with a toasty, nutty crust from wheat germ and seasoned bread crumbs. Hints of basil, thyme, parsley, and a touch of red pepper add aromatic depth without overpowering the chicken. Great for weeknight dinners or game-day snacking, they deliver crispy edges and savory flavor without frying.
