chicken is good, not so much the almond flour. It taste different.
I love almond flour! But I get it, it does have a unique flavor. Have you tried mixing it with regular flour? That might help!
These nuggets are a game changer! Finally a healthy version that my kids love! 😍
Loved these!! I used coconut flour instead and they were amazing!! #BestNuggetsEver
This was super easy to make! I added some cayenne for a kick. Will definitely make again!
Good except I think I forgot the salt. Need to pay more attention next time lol.
Quick, easy, and healthier! What else can you ask for? You rock!
Paleo? More like pale-no. These taste like cardboard.
Not a fan. They turned out kinda dry and the flavor was bland. I expected better.
I dunno what you did, but these were really good to me! Sounds like user error? 🤷♂️
I found the perfect way to make them juicy! Maybe try marinating the chicken for a bit before coating. It might help with the dryness!
Tasty! Even the picky eaters at my house enjoyed them. Thumbs up from me!
I’m so glad to hear that! Picky eaters can be tough, but it sounds like you nailed it! 😊
Not sure about these, I mean chicken nuggets without breadcrumbs? Sounds weird. 🤔
I doubt these are good. Doesn’t chicken need breadcrumbs? Where’s the crunch?
