What kid doesn’t like chicken nuggets? They are incredibly popular and seem to be on almost every restaurant menu. Kids just love them!
I stopped buying frozen chicken nuggets about three years ago and started experimenting with different homemade recipes. After trying several versions, this recipe became a keeper for me. These nuggets are just the way kids like them, and it was so funny watching my kids compare them to nuggets from restaurants and fast-food places like Chick-fil-A. But guess what? They liked these even better!
They are surprisingly easy to make and require only a handful of simple ingredients—definitely fewer than you will find on the ingredient list of a store-bought box. Best of all, every ingredient is familiar and easy to recognize.
My sister Olga shared this recipe with me from Weelicious.com. These homemade chicken nuggets are delicious, and your whole family—especially the kids—will love them.
