Chicken nuggets are a classic dish for kids and can often be found on the children's menu in restaurants. But they're not always as tasty as they should be. And the texture can be a little strange sometimes, too. By making your own chicken nuggets with top-quality chicken fillet, you can ensure that the meat is more succulent, the crumb coating is crispier and the finished nugget is far more tasty. They don't take a whole lot of effort and yet they'll satisfy the whole family.
