This is from the Food Network. My kids love chicken nuggets and, by making them myself, I know what's really in them. These are a little less fat too, and can be made even more so by using olive oil or cooking in the oven.

  • For those who want to make it healthier fry in extra virgin olive oil just enough to coat. You can also follow the recipe and place the coated nuggets on a cookie sheet and brush with the extra virgin olive oil and put in a 450' degree oven for about 10 minutes on each side. Watch them carefully as you want a golden brown, and, depending on your oven, times may vary. Lowfat buttermilk can also be used.
