Chicken nuggets at home

If you really love chicken nuggets but want to stay away from the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall, you can. It is simple, fast, and healthy to make your own nuggets. The cost for homemade chicken nuggets clocks in at less than $ 1 per four-ounce serving. Chop chicken breasts or tenders into small chunks – the nuggets. Mix together bread crumbs and seasonings, or even use a product like Shake ‘n Bake. Dunk the chicken in milk, egg or melted butter, then into the bread crumb mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes. Or, in case you are brave, deep-fat fry in 450 degree oil for 3 minutes.
