Chicken nuggets turned out great i did make a few minor changes – i used bread crumbs instead because the flour like to stick to my frying pan despite oil and i used regular salt but they turned out great and my 4 1/2 yr old ate her entire plate which is FANTASTIC even our baby (13 months old) is enjoying them however our 7 1/2 yr old is way to picky and will not eat anything that is not pre-packaged THANKS TO GRANDMA!!!

Just tried these, Laura, and they were great! I added some onion and garlic powder to the flour to add flavor to the breading, and I liked how they turned out. Thanks for the recipe!

Yum! Well, I have to say I sympathize regarding restaurants. We go out maybe 2 or 3 times a year as a family because it costs so much. Even with the kids pitching in (the ‘kids’ are 17, 21, 23 and 25, btw–you can imagine what they eat), it still runs very high. So eating out is only for the most special occasions.
I did something recently that was so much fun. I made breakfast for dinner. Bacon, eggs and pancakes. It was just like eating out at IHOP! The kids thought it was a great idea. I wish I’d done it years ago.

This sounds yummy! I’ll have to try it with my girls sometime.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

You can probably find sea salt at the regular grocery store (I use Redmonds RealSalt), but I usually order it from my coop. If you can’t find it, just use regular salt.

I salt the nuggets as I cook them.

Hope yours turn out yummy!

Great post! I actually was planning to make your Chicken nuggets tonight – how funny is that?

One question – what do I do if I don’t have sea salt? And if I were to get some before tonight, how much do I add to the flour? Or is the sea salt for salting while the chicken is cooking?

Ok, that was more than one question!

There is a cool website called topsecretrecipes.com- it has all kinds of restaurant “cloned” recipes. A lot of them are free, some you pay for. They even have candy bar and snack recipes. I really like the ones I’ve tried, like Arby’s sauce & Horsey Sauce and Taco Bell sauce & Taco Bell Surpreme Burritos. I am looking forward to trying Popeye’s Red Beans & Rice & Buttermilk Biscuit recipes- those are my favorite and the closest Popeye’s (or Taco Bell or Arbys) restaurant is an hour away…
