Hand-shaped chicken Parmesan nuggets with uneven craggy edges and varied golden browning — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Chicken mince, egg and Parmesan make a nugget that browns without flour. Chill the mixture, shape it loosely and leave the edges craggy. Those thin bits are exactly what turn crisp in the oven.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Mix and chill

Combine chicken, egg, 60 g Parmesan, gelatine and salt just until tacky. Refrigerate for 15 minutes while the oven heats to 220°C.

Shape them by hand

Divide into 16 uneven nuggets. Press each lightly into the remaining Parmesan, leaving rough ridges and thin corners.

Bake on a hot tray

Brush a preheated lined tray with tallow. Add nuggets with space between them and bake for 9 minutes.

Turn once

Flip and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes until deeply golden and the largest nugget reaches 74°C.

Rest briefly

Rest for 3 minutes so the cheese shell firms, then eat while the edges are still loud.
