For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the panko mixture. Serve these nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, ranch, or a homemade aioli. To ensure even cooking, make sure the pheasant nuggets are cut into uniformly sized pieces. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, ground black pepper, and dry mustard powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and has infused the butter with its flavor. Be careful not to burn the garlic. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour the garlic butter into a separate mixing bowl. Dip each pheasant nugget into the melted butter, ensuring it is well coated. Then, press the buttered nugget into the panko mixture, coating it completely. (15 minutes)
05
StepPlace the breaded pheasant nuggets on an ungreased baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle any remaining panko mixture evenly over the nuggets. (5 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the pheasant nuggets are golden brown and no longer pink in the centers. (45 minutes)
07
StepRemove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
