Chicken nuggets are a popular fast-food item among both children and adults. They are typically created with ground or chopped chicken breast meat that has been shaped into nuggets. This recipe uses ground chicken, which is then breaded before being deep fried. They are quick and simple to prepare, and if baked rather than fried, they can be a healthy option. They can be served as a main course or as an appetizer. They’re frequently served with dipping sauces like sweet and sour, ketchup, barbecue, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
