I make these chucken nuggets fairly often, but have never thought of freezing them! Thanks for the tips!
How long can you freeze the chicken nuggets for?
This is the same recipe that I have used for years that I found on All Recipes. I’ve never had to think about how long they stay good in the freezer as I make a new batch every 2 weeks or so. I have two children under 7 so the nuggets don’t stay around long. My husband won’t touch the store packaged things, but I have seen him grab a few of these and take off to work with them for lunch :) If you are trying to stay away from butter, you can also mist the chicken pieces with olive oil and then coat with the breading.
I mix these up a lot with different ingredients, but our favorite are the Cereal Baked Chicken Nuggets. We haven’t made these in a while, since my kids tend to prefer those.
