I always figured Chicken McNuggets were nasty. I read today that by FDA rules chicken skin is not distinguished from chicken meat. And that whatever little “meat” is in a nugget which is not chicken skin fat is, instead, “recovered meat” (bits of semi-soft tissue that’s high-pressure blasted off the bone) Gross.
So today I made my own for Luke. Mmmmmmmmmmmm
I tossed a bunch of lean chicken breast fillets into the food processor, along with some minced-up carrot and broccoli. Then on top of that, a pile of fresh thyme and oregano and salt.
Coated with flour, which a let sit for 15-20 minutes. Then the egg+breading grips much better
Minced up, I then squished them into nugget-shapes, breaded, and pan-fried the things. They actually tasted reasonable. Too mild for my tastes, but for Luke, just nice. When I piled some of Matilda’s homemade Myanamar mint/chilli sauce, then they tasted quite good.
