📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this is crucial for easy cleanup!
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Mix everything together thoroughly until it's nicely combined.
3. Once the mixture is well combined, gently shape the chicken into your dino shapes using the cookie cutter. It's fun, trust me! If your cookie cutter isn't working very well, you can try using your hands to form the nuggets.
4. Place the dino nuggets onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each nugget for even cooking.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown and cooked all the way through. You'll know they're done when their internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). If you don't have a meat thermometer, make sure to slice one of the nuggets open. If there's no pink in the middle, you're golden!
6. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. This allows the chicken to set and prevents them from becoming soggy.
7. Serve them up immediately. Enjoy your ridiculously cute dino nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce! I highly recommend honey mustard or BBQ sauce. But let's be honest, ketchup always works too!
