Chicken nuggets

My sweet baby and probably every other child, big or small, loves chicken nuggets!  When you need to make a GF choice, there are some options available for purchase.  Even our local Wal-Mart and grocery stores carry some frozen brands - Perdue and Tyson both offer GF chicken tenders.  They are both very good.  My favorite, however, are homemade and EASY!!!

Just grab some potato chips - there are varieties that are GF!!!!  Check out the link below for a list of Lay's brand:

Smash up those chips and set aside.  Cut up boneless, skinless chicken into small pieces.  Dredge chicken pieces in bowl of milk OR a water and hot sauce mixture (to your liking).  Roll chicken in smashed chips.  Fry in canola oil on stove top OR bake in oven at 350 until golden brown.  YUM!!!!

My dad is wonderful!  He makes us some nuggets to keep in the freezer for those busy ball game nights.  The last couple of times, he used boneless, skinless chicken thighs.  They make a tender, juicy nugget that is oh, so good!

My older son, Keanan, who doesn't have a gluten sensitivity loves these nuggets too.

That's Keanan. :-)  He likes to heat up a little Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ sauce to pour over them.  And yes, Sweet Baby Ray's is GF!!!  It says so right on the bottle!  YAY!

    I can't wait to try these for my Sophie! She loves Chicken nuggets, and we grill skinless boneless thighs all the time, so this will be a nice change for her, and much healthier than McDonalds Nuggets which I am sure are not GF !!! For a twist I bet you could throw in a little parmesean cheese, is it GF?

      Hey Becky! Thanks for your comment! Yes, you are right, McDonalds nuggets are not GF. Some Parm cheese is GF; however, sometimes, an anit-caking agent is incorporated into cheese that may contain wheat/gluten. Just be sure to always, always read labels and when in doubt, Google it. :-) Parm would be a great addition. The potato chips already have salt but any other seasoning would be great to mix it up a bit - even some italian seasoning would be great! Let me know what you think after you've tried it!
