Hello guys, How is your day? I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I had a very good weekend. Have ever tried making chicken nuggets in home?
Today, I bring you a super easy, loved by both adults and kiddos…Chicken Nuggets -Chicken Bites! Who doesn’t love them? These are seriously so addicting and fantastic…and a bit spicy. I made this for my daughter class party potluck and it was a HUGE hit!
Oh yeah, this is deep-fried nuggets or fried chicken tenders, since a lot of them are not big fans of deep-fried snacks me included. You can choose cooking frying method or popping it in the oven – either way, it’s YUM. I have tried making in both ways, I prefer baking though, it makes more healthier.
Yes, you guessed it right, I have posted earlier the baked chicken nuggets version, which little different from this fried chicken nugget recipe, but it’s equally tasty, crispy, plus healthy. You can easily try both chicken nuggets recipes and decide which one you like better.
Excellent for entertaining or simply as an everyday treat… Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and Enjoy!
