Salt & Chilli Chicken McNuggets®

Salt & Chilli Chicken McNuggets

If you’ve read any of my books or know me at all, you’ll know that I’m a pretty big fan of salt & chilli dishes.  Conversely, I’m typically not a fan of ‘gimmick’ style recipes or fusion foods that don’t make a whole lot of sense.  For that reason, this recipe, if you can even call it a recipe, is somewhat of an anomaly and isn’t the sort of thing I usually do.  However, I did do it, and I’m so very glad I did.  Salt & Chilli Chicken McNuggets® might just be the absolute best thing to do with leftover nuggets.

With a box of 20 McNuggets® coming in at little over £1 more than the standard order of 6, it always makes sense to order the larger portion, especially with this leftovers dish in mind.  The nuggets reheat so well, becoming just a little crisp on the outside, perfect for soaking up the salt & chilli flavours.  Enjoy!
