Yes...Yes...Yes I finally got my little man to eat chicken. He's going thru a picky "meat" eating phase but I got him to eat these nuggets. So here's how I did it. This meal is so easy to make. As for nutritional content I can't say. Some times we don't eat as healthy as other days. So directions on how to make my nuggets.
Chicken Nuggets (homemade)
1 egg, beaten
about 1 cup of corn meal
enough oil (not oilve) to fill a cast iron skillet to about 1-in. full
1 lb. chicken cut up into bite-size pieces
Check to make sure the oil is ready. I dip my fingers in a bit of water to see. If you hear it sizzle then it's ready. In a pie plate add the corn meal, and what ever spices you want. If you are using spices make sure to mix it up very well. Dredge the chicken in the beaten egg. Then coat a few pieces of chicken at a time no more than 3 in the corn meal. Drop in the oil. Make sure to turn so there is even cooking. I did this till the coating was semi dark on both sides. About 2-3 min on each side. Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way. Cook chicken in batches no more than 2-3 at a time. Place on a plate that has a paper towel on it to drain excess oil.

Mean while you cook the tater tots according to the directions. You can add a salad, veggies or more. Enjoy and if you make this please let me know how it came out. Thank you
