This homemade chicken nugget is an absolute hit to your kids and also grown ups will love it too! It is made from ground chicken breast so you can be sure that it is tender and juicy. And with some baking powder, it will make the chicken nuggets fluffy. The most common version is using chicken fillet then coated with the breading but I think using the ground chicken is more tasty. This is only my opinion and its up to you to decide which version tastes better. Just serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and you are ready to go!
