Christmas chicken nuggets

Not yet rated

Chicken nuggets are given a festive twist by Andy Waters, who recommends cutting them into seasonal shapes (such as stars, bells or trees). Using crushed cheese and onion crisps in the breadcrumb mix may seem slightly strange, but it adds a satisfying crunch and flavour to the coating of the chicken.
