Homemade Chicken Nuggets

The other day Ted could not stop talking about chicken nuggets. All morning he kept asking me to make them for dinner that evening. Sometimes I can not say no to that cute little face. We went to the supermarket to buy chicken.

Ted wanted to try to coat the nuggets with bread crumbs but I have always wanted to cook them in almond flour. I have never tried this method before. We didn't have a blender to make the crumbs with as it was in the dishwasher.

Therefore almond flour was used to make the coating. These were so good and Ted actually really enjoyed them too. Without the bread crumbs! We are definitely going to eat this meal again. I'm sure it would be a regular on the menu if Ted had anything to do with it! Below is a video and recipe for you.

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Homemade Chicken Nuggets were a massive hit in our house. My husband Howard and Ted both asked for seconds. Which is normally unheard of in this house. Ted helped me to make the nuggets. We had a great time making them. It's a great job for a kid and a great way to spend time together. These are freezable as well and they make great leftovers for a lunch the next day too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
