Healthier Crispy Chicken Nuggets

Chick-fil-a who??

Every chicken nugget brand available at the store contains additives, preservatives, seed oils, gums, and more. Even Applegate! (a brand I usually trust!) These ingredients are known to cause inflammation and disrupt gut microbe balance, potentially leading to allergies, disease, weight gain, acne, and various other health issues. That's why I set out to create a simple homemade recipe that you can feel confident serving to your family!
