Breaded chicken nuggets are the healthier, prettier version of what you find in stores, which claim to be chicken, but contain a lot of concoctions.
I rarely buy ready-made products, I’ve always been hesitant about these things and have always felt the urge to make them myself and things I find around.
I look at the things on display, try at home, and attempt to replicate them similarly; if it’s meat, sometimes my husband helps me.
To brighten up the breadcrumbs, I added a bit of turmeric, so it’s more colorful, but besides that, they were really good.
I made my nuggets with chicken breast, but if you wish, you can also use thigh meat, removing any bones and tough parts, and then cut into pieces.
If you make any of my recipes, send me the photos, and I will publish them on my page with your name.
