Homemade Chicken Nuggets (Whole Wheat or Gluten-Free!)

Name: Homemade Chicken Nuggets (Whole Wheat or Gluten-Free!)
Ingredients: 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can also use breasts, but we have found that the thighs make for a juicier and more flavorful nugget); 2 large eggs, well beaten; About 1/2 cup oil of your choice — we most often use coconut oil, olive oil, or a blend of the two for these; 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs (you can also use regular whole-wheat breadcrumbs), OR 3/4 cup each finely ground puffed brown rice cereal and unsalted popcorn for a gluten-free nugget; 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional); 1 tsp. dried basil; 1/2 tsp. salt; 1/2 tsp. garlic powder; 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
