Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.

Dredge the egg-coated chicken piece in the pork rind and cheese mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breading to the chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the nuggets are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, ensuring an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
