Homemade Chicken Nuggets with chicken recipes healthy easy low carb

Golden, crispy, and way better than anything that ever came out of a freezer bag 🍗✨ These homemade chicken nuggets are my go-to whenever I’m craving comfort food with a crunch. They’re bite-sized, juicy, and carry that nostalgic drive-thru flavor—but we’re making them fresh, from real chicken, with a seasoning blend that doesn’t play around. Whether you’ve got little ones at the table or you’re just feeding your inner child (been there), this is the kind of recipe that delivers every time. I’ve made these for parties, weeknight dinners, and even reheated them for lunch the next day (still dreamy!). Grab your dipping sauce of choice—things are about to get delicious. 😋
