Making your own chicken nuggets

If you really love chicken nuggets but want to keep away from the Wal-Mart chicken nugget recall, you are able to. Making your own chicken nuggets is quick, cheap, and healthy. All the ingredients for chicken nuggets will cost about $ 15, but will make three to four pounds — 12 to 16 servings. Start by chopping boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders into chunks. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and seasonings like basil together. Dunk the chicken in milk, egg or melted butter, then to the bread crumb mixture. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes. If you need a true fast food taste, deep-fat fry them at 450 for 3 to five minutes.
