Notes

I used chicken breasts for this recipes, but using thighs is also possible. The reason I used breasts is the color and the texture of the meat. Thighs will be a bit more juicy, but also more greyish and the nuggets will have a different texture.
The recipe above is already tasty but you can add all kinds of spices to you flower mixture to make these nuggets even more tasty. Add for example smoked paprika, chili or garlic powder for even more flavor!
