    Great meal but crap recipe!!! A few tips to make this a genuinely easy enjoyable recipe: 1. You can very slowly toast some bread till hardened and then crush to make your 'breadcrumbs" (discard any blackened bits first!). 2. The chicken bits are best shaped long and thin for ease of handling with little hands. 3. Just mix the grated cheese with the egg and immerse the chicken, the cheese doesn't actually stick to the chicken that well, but it doesn't need to be covered only about 1/3 coverage is still very effective. 4. Then take out and DROP your chicken onto the breadcrumbs, then sprinkle more breadcrumbs on top until you can pat all the breadcrumbs down without getting your fingers damp. THEN put your chicken on the baking paper in the tray. 5. "drizzle"??? ..... pour a thin line of oil along each "nugget". 6. Bake. 20 mins usually good. 7. serve with tomato ketchup, mayonnaise (etc) dips. Your kids will love this meal.

    Nice twist on a basic nugget recipe which my little one loved. Quick & easy to make, and a much tastier version than the processed versions from the supermaket with the added bonus of knowing what is actually in them!!

    These are fab! My little ones love these and I do too, knowing they are 100% chicken breast.
