Are chicken nuggets gluten-free?

Traditional chicken nuggets are usually not gluten-free because they’re coated in wheat-based breading. However, this recipe (and all of my other recipes) is 100% gluten-free!

Why are my gluten-free chicken nuggets soggy?

When the nuggets come out of the hot frying oil, they need to air out to be able to crisp up. Often times, nuggets are stacked in paper towels which can cause excess grease to get trapped. This makes the bottom of the nuggets soggy. To prevent this, place the nuggets on a cookie rack with proper air flow.

Are the chicken nuggets dairy-free and egg-free?

Yes! These nuggets are naturally gluten, dairy, and egg free.

Can I make chicken nuggets ahead of time?

Yes. You can shape them, coat them in arrowroot powder and batch freeze them so that they are ready to be dipped and fried whenever you want them. Or, you can bake them all the way through and simply reheat them from frozen. See Prep/Storage Options above for reheating details.

Can chicken nuggets be frozen?

Yes. Chicken nuggets freeze well either before or after cooking. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a week or freezer for up to 6 months.
