Chicken Nuggets Recipe
The first time I made these nuggets, they disappeared real quick, this is because they are incredibly delicious. No one can resist these babies.
What makes these chicken nuggets incredible is because you get decide what spice to use and what not to use–no more getting over-spiced chicken nuggets. Lol
Anyway chicken nuggets are great served with ketchup, honey mustard sauce or dunking them into Avocado Ranch
