With these Nuggets, your kids will never want McDonald’s again!

Alright, let’s be real—everyone loves chicken nuggets. Kids, adults, even that one friend who claims they "don’t eat fast food" but mysteriously knows exactly how many nuggets come in a McDonald’s box.

But here’s the problem: most fast-food nuggets are loaded with fillers, preservatives, and things you can’t pronounce. So today, we’re fixing that: real chicken, real flavour, and none of the weird stuff.

We’re making three incredible nugget variations—classic, tandoori-spiced, and a Portuguese piri-piri version—because why settle for just one when you can have options? And to top it all off, we’re whipping up a homemade ketchup that’ll make you question why you ever bought the bottled stuff.

And the best part? These nuggets are perfect for meal prep. Make a big batch, freeze them, and you’ve got better-than-fast-food nuggets ready to go whenever you want.

So, if you’ve ever thought, “I could make better nuggets at home”, you’re right. And today, you’re going to prove it. Let’s do this.
