Ah, chicken nuggets. So many memories.

Sweet and Spicy Cashew Chicken Nuggets


When my parents used to go out for date night, leaving one of my older sisters (and later on, me) in charge, we would splurge on a dinner of chicken nuggets and mac ‘n cheese in front of the TV.

When I used to work as a nanny (for 4 girls under the age of 9), I would pull out chicken nuggets for dinner and turn on Jimmy Neutron when the girls were exhausted and their parents were going to be home late. It’s a proven fact that those little golden bites are a babysitter’s best friend.

Now, when I want the oven on to heat the apartment and am craving some comfort food, it’s chicken nuggets to the rescue once again. This version, however, boasts a better ingredient list and more lasting fullness.

Serve with a mustard dip (honey, mustard, salt and pepper whisked together) and a big salad and you’ve got a tasty, giddy, back-to-your-babysitting/babysat days dinner.
