There was a time when we bought frozen chicken nuggets by the kilo from a shop called Belcap along Xavierville Avenue in Quezon City. That was after graduating from brands sold in supermarkets. That was years ago.
It’s really funny when I hear people argue that ordering chicken nuggets, or a McChicken sandwich, is healthier than ordering a burger. At the very least, burgers are made with ground beef and you can see the beef. If too many extenders are added, you can taste and see them. Not as easy with chicken nuggets since they are coated in batter and breading. And once dunked into those highly flavored sauces, what chicken flavor is there left to taste? And after I realized that chicken nuggets were not made from chicken fillets but, rather from processed chicken meat to which a lot of fat has been added to keep them moist, we stopped buying them and I started making chicken nuggets at home. Okay, they’re still fried but, at least, we know what exactly we’re putting in our mouths and stomachs.
thanks for this one! i love nuggets (chicken or fish)
but we’d usually buy tuna nuggets in RDEX (a store in market! market!), they’re yummy too!
I’ve never thought to make homemade fish nuggets – but now I want some!
