BBQ Chicken Nuggets

BBQ Chicken Nuggets

My son Ted who is 10, loves chicken nuggets. I was unsure of making this dish as he likes his nuggets just so. To my surprise, Ted seemed keen to try these nuggets. Especially when I told him he could roll his ones in sourdough breadcrumbs. We made this meal together. It was so much fun and we really enjoyed the results of our experiment. We hope you will too.

BBQ Chicken Nuggets

BBQ Chicken Nuggets were delicious. As I mentioned earlier Ted and I prepared these together. Then we stored them in the fridge until we wanted to eat them. If the chicken has not been frozen then you could make the nuggets in advance of a meal and store them in the freezer. They could also be made the night before and stored in the fridge. The nuggets make very tasty leftovers too. However we decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
