I was asked to share my recipe and method for making chicken nuggets.
I have a confession to make,
I am a “fly by the seat of my pants” chicken nugget maker.
I don’t have a formal recipe and my method has just been made up over the years.
I use three basic ingredients:
Chicken Breast
(or tenders, depending on the price)
Bread Crumbs
(seasoned if you like, I just add some salt and pepper)
Eggs
Method:
If I am using chicken breasts, I cut those up to my desired size. Then I crack a few eggs into a ziplock bag (gallon size) and moosh it up so the egg yolks are broken up and mixed a bit. Then I add the chicken, seal the bag and shake it up so the chicken is coated. Then transfer the chicken into another ziplock bag that has bread crumbs added to it, seal and shake. I then lay the chicken on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until cooked.
If freezing, wait to bag the chicken until it has completely cooled, I usually put in on a plate in the refrigerator to quicken the process. When you are ready to eat, just warm it up and enjoy.
Very simple, and much better than the processed chicken parts you buy at the store.
They are simple and easy. Those are the best recipes I think. I hope things are going better and boredom isn't to bad.

Thank you for sharing your method. I love that you do it all in bags…so much easier to clean up! I'm adding this to my "freezer cooking" session this week.
