Quick, easy and definitely tasty, these 3 Easy Chicken Nuggets Recipes are perfect for a child-friendly midweek meal. Plus find the linky for #CookBlogShare Week 26!
Another month has gone by already! How is that possible? I think I’ve said this before, but I love my slot on #CookBlogShare. I get the last Tuesday of the month – which means I always get to enjoy having a little reflect back over the month.
And it’s been a busy old month (when are they ever not?) With its ups (like launching my first ever product… more of that below!) and its downs (like when my daughter broke her arm *sob*) and of course lots of blog posts!
The main action this month has been over on Productive Blogging, with not one but two new offerings! First up I announced my very first Productive Blogging LIVE event – it’s a one day conference and networking event for bloggers taking place in London on October 5th this year. There will be seminars, Q&As, goodie bags, networking, a delicious mezze feast for lunch plus coffee and cakes (all cooked by former #CookBlogShare host Mandy Mazliah from Sneaky Veg) and an after-party at Wahaca… Fancy joining us? Better get your skates on – there are only a few tickets left!!
Hot on the heels of that news, came the launch of my very first Productive Blogging course – SEO Jumpstart! SEO Jumpstart is a jargon free search engine optimisation course for bloggers. It’s all about getting your blog to perform better in search engine results – which, in turn, will bring you more traffic to your blog… and hopefully more income too! You can read all about it here >>> SEO Jumpstart Course
Not content with a mere two launches ?, I also managed to squeeze in a few blog posts too:
Needless to say over on Easy Peasy Foodie this month things have been a little quieter, with just one new recipe (I know – I feel like I’m letting the side down!) – but it’s a cracker: Easy Homemade Meatballs with Tomato Sauce. I also managed to squeeze in another roundup post, this time my collection of 20 Easy Peasy Pasta Recipes – perfect for busy weeknights!
3 Easy Chicken Nuggets Recipes
Well, choosing a theme for this week’s #CookBlogShare roundup was not difficult… there were an incredible THREE chicken nuggets recipes linked up to last week’s linky over on Glutarama! Which lead me to wonder if perhaps one of the days last week was national chicken nuggets day?? Quick google tells me that, no, there is no national chicken nuggets day in June – it is in fact the 13th November! So now you know 😀
The thing I love about these 3 chicken nuggets recipes is that, whilst they are all easy – they are all different: 3 different coatings AND 3 different cooking methods! Which one is your favourite?
Crispy Healthy Cornflake Chicken Nuggets
First up we have these delicious Crispy Healthy Cornflake Chicken Nuggets from Monika at Everyday Healthy Recipes. Monika coats her chicken nuggets in a mix of crushed up cornflakes and breadcrumbs before shallow frying in a little oil. I love the idea of adding cornflakes for extra crunch and I really love how much healthier these are than typical bought chicken nuggets!
Homemade Chicken Nuggets
Next, we have these lovely Homemade Chicken Nuggets from Helen at Cooking with my Kids. These chicken nuggets are made with just 4 ingredients: chicken, eggs, breadcrumbs and flour. Instead of frying her nuggets, Helen bakes them in the oven. What I love about this recipe (and all of Helen’s lovely blog) is she has step by step pictures of her kids making this recipe. I love to see kids in the kitchen, and it goes to show how easy this recipe is too!
Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
Need to follow a gluten free diet? No worries. The final recipe in this week’s roundup are these gluten free Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets from Balvinder at Simple Gluten Free Kitchen. I love how Balvinder adds herbs and spices to her gluten free breadcrumbs before coating the chicken with them – making them even more delicious! She then uses her air-fryer to create that fried nugget flavour, with less oil and faff than traditional frying! If you don’t have an air fryer she also has instructions for how to bake these in the oven.

Corina Blum says
Lovely round up Eb! I love making chicken nuggets and make them in my air fryer like Balvinder and in the oven. Even though I make them a lot Master Spice refuses to eat them because they are not quite the same as the ones from a packet! Luckily Little Miss Spice prefers the homemade ones though x
Eb Gargano says
Hahaha – what is it with kids preferring the less healthy, bought versions? My daughter doesn’t like my (lovingly made, homecooked, from scratch, using good quality ingredients) macaroni cheese, but says she really likes school’s (mass produced, down to a price) macaroni cheese – go figure! Eb x
Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook says
I love chicken nuggets, I could eat one pack in one sitting. 😀 I might need to try the homemade version – all of them look so yummy! Thanks a lot for hosting this week, Eb!
Eb Gargano says
I know, don’t they just! 😀 Eb x
Monika Dabrowski says
Poor girl, having to wear a cast for weeks and not being able to scratch her arm! My youngest son has also injured himself recently – his leg and knee – so I know how painful these things are. Thank you for featuring my chicken nuggets! And I am kicking myself for not posting this recipe in November! Never occurred to me there actually was a chicken nugget day. Will be back later on this week with a new recipe.
Eb Gargano says
Yeah, very annoying, though I think all the worst thing is all the stuff she’s missing out on… sports day, all her clubs – like dance and gymnastics, various parties etc. That and not being able to bend her elbow… that would annoy me! Still, we went to fracture clinic yesterday and it’s coming off in 4 weeks – just in time for the start of the summer hols – yay! Eb x
Vicki Montague says
How odd that so many of us linked up chicken nuggets? My recipe was soo old and in need of a refresh and it made me laugh when I linked it and found three others. Thanks for hosting and for putting together such a delicious roundup. I am looking forward to being inspired this week.
Eb Gargano says
I know! 4 in one week – and it’s not even #nationalchickennuggetday – haha!! So sorry I couldn’t include yours… I had just literally put the whole thing to bed when I saw yours come through – gah! Eb x
Donna says
The kids absolutely love chicken nuggets (don’t they all?!) so this roundup is perfect!!
Eb Gargano says
Haha – indeed. Nice to have some healthier (and probably tastier) versions than shop bought! Eb x
Cat | Curly's Cooking says
Your round up is my husband’s dream meals! He would have breaded chicken everyday if he could. These all look so tasty!
Eb Gargano says
Haha – brilliant! Just goes to show that these recipes are not just for kids! 😀
Choclette says
I think I must have become a groupie as I’ve signed up for both of your Productive Blogging offerings 😀
What a horrid time for you all though, with a nasty broken arm. Hope it heals well.
Eb Gargano says
Aw, thanks Choclette! Hope you are finding SEO Jumpstart helpful… and I am looking forward to meeting you properly in October 😀 Eb x
Rebecca - Glutarama says
How funny is it that we got all those nugget recipes and all different in their own little ways. You have had a MAMMOTH month bless you so I’m not at all surprised on the fewer recipes. Mind you, as you say, what a recipe for meatballs and what a round up – all the yums!
Eb Gargano says
Haha – thanks Rebecca. It was rather a mammoth month – I didn’t really realise quite how mammoth until I sat down to write this post! I think maybe I should spend July lying down (though of course you and me both know that won’t happen!!) Eb x
Jo Allison / Jo's Kitchen Larder says
Chicken nuggets galore! lol We all love them though don’t we (some of us secretly) lol. I so love homemade version and luckily kids do too! Hope your girlie is recovering well and it’s good to hear that she will be cast free for Summer holidays! 🙂 x
Eb Gargano says
Yes – indeed! Thanks for your kind words about my daughter… she’s doing OK and very happy that she’ll be cast free for the summer hols! Eb x
Michelle Frank | Flipped-Out Food says
What were the chances that there would have been THREE chicken nuggets recipes linked up??? Has the world turned upside down? 😉
And what a month you’ve had. I’m glad that it was mostly positive (happy thoughts to your poor baby girl)!
Eb Gargano says
I know – and in fact just after I’d put this post to bed, a fourth one got linked up! Such a freaky coincidence!! Thanks – yes it has been quite a whirlwind – thanks for the happy thoughts – just been to sports day… my poor sporty little girl had to just sit there and watch… luckily she goes to a lovely school and the teachers found plenty of helpful jobs for her to do – she spent much of the day with a clipboard in hand…and at one point was given the job of taking photos on the headteacher’s ipad – which I think made her feel a lot better about the day!
