- ¼ cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt

Breading
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Stir the milk and breadcrumbs together in a small bowl or measuring cup and let sit for 4-5 minutes to create a panade.
- While the panade sits, preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Add the panade and the remaining ingredients for the chicken nuggets to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.

- Scoop around 1 rounded tablespoon of the chicken mixture onto the breading, then flip and coat the other side. Press the nugget to around ½ inch thickness and transfer it to your baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Spray the nuggets with cooking spray. Bake for 16-18 minutes until they are browned and reach an internal temperature of 165℉.
