My kids love Chicken Nuggets. I used to buy Store-bought until I realized how easy it is to make them by myself. Since I’ve started doing this, I don’t buy store bought Nuggets anymore. I’ve also added sides to it, to make it a complete meal for my kids as well as fit for Adults.
My kids would usually have Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup. I swapped the Fries with Seasoned boiled Potatoes here and Ketchup with a tomato based Paprika Relish instead of the Ketchup.
I love this recipe and it is also a winner when Ella’s non-Indian friends come home for a Play-Date.
