Chicken Nuggets are
my favorite. I have a fried version here, which I don’t make often because I
kind off stayed away from fried foods.. I wanted to make a baked version of
these so I can enjoy it often. The one thing which turned off me these many
days is I always thought that the chicken will turn dry when it is baked. But
when I came across this recipe, I wanted to try it ASAP. I was quite
surprised with the result. These nuggets turned so juicy and moist at the same
time it was crispy. Hope you will try it someday.

where can I get oregano and spray oil???
@sindhu you can get it in any big supermarkets
Hi aarthi. Is there any special specification in case we use a MW oven for your baking recipes. Will be really useful if you can mention a note for MW oven users.
@Ishwarya Dyanesu can make this only in microwave convection oven. If you have normal microwave you cannot make it
Hi aarthi
I hav microwave grill oven
can I use tat
Hi Aarthi – had a basic question.. Is oregano spicy? Have never tried oregano before and would want to tryout your recipe for my kid who cannot tolerate even a little amount of spice.. Your recipe looks yummy n delicious and am very much tempted to try it ..
@namita shankarno it is not spicy, it is flavourful and gives the aroma which a pizza or pasta needs
@Anonymousno it has to baked in convection mode
Aarthi, great recipe..what is the temperature to set in the conventional oven.
