    Steer clear of trans fats and fast food places, make your own chicken nuggets!  This way you know exactly what goes into the chicken nuggets and what part of the chicken they are from.  

     They are easy to make and the husband happily munched a batch of these.    I coated these with coconut but you could also add any spices that you have to hand.  Don't be shy, spice it up!

    I bought chicken breasts then ground them in my food processor.  You could just as easily purchase minced (or ground) chicken from your butcher/supermarket.
