I’ve been making these easy homemade baked chicken nuggets for a few years now and decided it was finally time to show you how to make them. Hands down, they’re one of the best chicken nugget recipes I’ve made…and they’re perfect for kids (of all ages) which is a win in my book.
I don’t know about you but when my family gets excited about dinnertime meals it makes my heart happy. And when my hubby asks for seconds (or even leftovers) I know the recipe is a winner. And that, my friend, is why I love these baked chicken nuggets. Not only do they taste fabulous (hey, don’t just take my word for it) but I love that the recipe is super simple and doesn’t take too much brain power to create. Do you know what I’m saying?!
