I just had to drop in this delicious home-made chicken nugget recipe that is even better than McDonalds, Chic Fil-A and several others. The proof? They took on wings and went flying off the plate!
This is a very easy chicken nugget recipe that only takes only minutes to prepare with the air-frying time being less than 15 minutes. Plus, it only requires a handful of ingredients to give it a taste that you and your family will absolutely enjoy.
Now in this particular recipe, the star ingredient is not only the canned chicken itself but the herb cilantro (or culantro) which helps in taking these healthy air-fried nuggets to another tasty dimension.
However, if you are not a fan per se, of this particular flavored herb, than just swap it out with another (e.g. parsley or basil). Simply put, have them your way!
