Chicken Nuggets

            

Hello Peeps...hope you all are doing great. The festive season is just around the corner and it's time to celebrate all the festivals with your friends and family members. It's that time of the season when we visit each other's place, exchange gifts and have lots of fun. 


Any festivity is incomplete without food whether we have friends and family visiting our place or we go out exotic dinner or enjoy the street side food while hopping the Puja Pandals.


But between all these hustle-bustle we can never compromise the food items that we  feed to our family. We have to take care of the hygiene and the heathiness. Obviously, we all want to enjoy the festivals with full enthusiasm, energy and with a good health.


Today's recipe is Chicken Nuggets or Chicken Pakoras. We all love Chicken Nuggets isn't it? Especially our kids they just go gaga over them. Whenever we urge to have Chicken Nuggets we either go to McDonald's or KFC and satisfy our craving but think if we can make it at home, THEN?


Anything homemade is always better than store bought or having them at restaurants. These Chicken Nuggets recipe are too simple to make and require very few ingredients....trust me!
