Crispy Chicken Nuggets

When ever I go to KFC or McDonald, my favorite snack other than french fries are these chicken nuggets. I love these small, cute, crispy chicken snacks which we can pop easily one after the other and which will be finished within minutes.

This is my version of the lip-smacking chicken nuggets. One evening I was in a mood to eat some hot and spicy snack and I thought of this, and as my kid is a big fan of chicken, I knew that she will love this. With minimal ingredients, it turned out to be an amazing snack. You can make these in batches and freeze them. Whenever needed, just take it out and deep fry them. If you like to, then while marinating, you can add buttermilk and then squeeze and coat them in corn flakes or bread crumbs.

After making this at home once, now on I will prepare this at home rather than eat it outside.

Homemade chicken nuggets are much healthier and tastier than what we get from fast food joints. Here is the recipe on how to prepare chicken nuggets, hope you all will enjoy this…
