Chicken nuggets!

[dirtsailor2003]

If you like chicken nuggets, this recipe is a keeper.
I did tweak one step. For the liquid batter I added a shot of vodka. The alcohol lightens the batter a bit and is something I do I when ever I use a liquid batter.
Annalee has requested that we try and adapt this to oven baking. So I’ll be working on a dry only option.
We did make a double batch and I’m glad we did. The single batch would’ve made pretty small nuggets.
Next go I may try breasts instead of thighs.
We made baked fries in the oven and my Sous chef made the sauce which is very similar to the apricot glaze I posted the other day that I use.

The Happiest Meal of All: Homemade Chicken Nuggets

McDonald's chicken nuggets are famous for their uniform and tender meat, savory flavor, and crisp coating. Here's how to make a replica version at home.

Thank you!
Yeah haven’t deep fried indoors for decades. Was going to pull out the discada and use it but the wind was screaming so I opted for the Coleman and the garage.

Nice. I like the use of the Coleman stove. The red leg/red tank model was only made for a few years in the 60's and your's looks to be in good shape.

Yep this is a 1962. Guy used it once, put it in his closet and never used it again! I picked it up on Craigslist for $20. I replaced the generator because one of the o-rings is leaking. I just got a new o-rings so I'll have the original as a spare. We use the stove all the time even at home.

If you’re in the mood for something quick and easy, you could also consider checking out the mcdonalds phone number for any special sauces or menu items they might have!

Are there any store-bought chicken nuggets that are considered "healthy"? I found a recipe that uses only a few ingredients, but I’m curious if there are convenient options available for purchase.
