Crispy Chicken Nuggets

By Frida Sofia35 min total

I feel like this is a parent hack and I’m not sure why haven’t made these before. My kids could easily eat chicken nuggets everyday of the week if I let them so why not make them at home easily made with simple clean ingredients? These are so great for meal prep and SO crispy and delicious
