What Are Chicken Nuggets Made Of?

Now that you know just what chicken nuggets are made up of, why put your health at risk when you can make them a thousand times healthier and more delicious yourself?

Cut up leftover chicken and use it to make delicious little croquettes! You can also blend a pound of chicken breast or thigh, then sauté it with one finely chopped onion until it becomes a soft mixture. Then combine thick béchamel sauce and 1 egg yolk. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top if you'd like, then form small balls with the mixture using your hands or a small spoon. Dip the balls in egg and roll them in breadcrumbs, then bake.

When they're golden and crispy, remove them and serve with whatever condiments you prefer. You'll discover that your kids will go crazy for them just like any fast food nugget – and yours are so much healthier!
