Kids love crispy chicken nuggets. But have you ever wondered what's in store-bought nuggets? Make them at home! It's quite simple, and you can be sure your child is getting a high-quality product. Small pieces of chicken breast are soaked in sour milk, then rolled in panko breadcrumbs mixed with spices, and fried in oil. The nuggets are incredibly juicy, covered in a super-crispy crust thanks to Japanese panko breadcrumbs. You can fry them in the evening, then pack them in a lunchbox with chopped vegetables in the morning and give them to your child for a snack at school.
