These
were really great. It's definitely worth it to
make them as opposed to purchasing them.
These nuggets were
incredible! 5 star recipe. Thank you so much!
I tried the Chicken
Nugget recipe today and I don't know if it is because I left out the
MSG, but they did not taste like McDonald's. They were ok, but I
definitely won't make them again.
These nuggets were
delicious! The coating was flavorful and crisp but not flaky like
others.
I loved your recipe even
though it took alot patients to make it.
First off, they don't
taste like McDonalds Chicken Nuggets and they need a bit more
seasoning. My two roommates and I agree that they are good but not
worth the trouble to make ....spend the extra few dollars and go to
McDonalds.
