   Great recipe! My daughter loves chicken nuggets and I'd feel better about her eating them every day if they were homemade!
   
   Thanks for the comment and follow. =) Following back now. By the way, I had a very confusing moment when I first saw your comment. I was tripping out, wondering when I commented myself, before it clicked... It's just someone else with my name lol!

    Oh my goodness! My kids LOVE chicken nuggets, but being the health freak I am I would never let them have them. I know what I am going to surprise them with for dinner tonight!

    Thanks for the recipe. I made these for my kids last night and my six year old who claims he doesn't like chicken declared them to be "incredible." I then have picky two year old twins, one devoured them the other refused to try... per his norm. It was only because it was something new. He'll try it the next time he sees it and I have no doubt he'll love them.
    
    I will make again for sure! The only thing I'll do differently next time is put the corn flakes through my food processor to get them to a bit finer of a texture. I think that will make the chicken even easier to coat. This time I just crushed them in a bag and it was fine, I will just try the food processor next time.
    
    This is the third recipe of yours we have tired. All have been really good! Thanks!!
16. Hullkels says:

    Hi ladies,
    When you freeze half do you freeze them before or after cooking? Thanks.
17. Camille says:

    I usually bake them first, then freeze them . . . that way I can even just pop them in the microwave when I need a quick meal! But I am sure that you could freeze them before cooking them too!
18. Debby says:

    These were excellent! My husband declared "this is the best meal you've ever made" and my 4 year old son said they were "yummy in my tummy". Thank you and I will definitely double the recipe next time to freeze some for a quick meal. I'm anxious to try more of your recipes.
19. Stephanie says:

    Ive been making these for as long as Ive known how to cook but i use a Ranch package instead of Parmesan cheese. Everyone loves them :)
20. Debbie in MS says:

    I have been using a similar recipe for years but we call ours ALF Chicken. Why such a crazy name? Because our now 30 year old daughter insisted on having it every week for supper while she watched ALF on TV.
21. Emily Kalal says:

    These are great, my husband also declared them better than any nuggets you could buy. Plus I felt good giving them to my 10 month old (in tiny bites of course!)
22. Kristina says:

    Any ideas what I can use instead of egg as my son is allergic?
23. Six Sisters says:

    You could dip them in melted margarine or butter. Hope this helps! -The Six Sisters
24. Mandy Lynn says:

    Is this fresh parmesan cheese or like the stuff you sprinkle on pizza?
25. Six Sisters says:

    Either one will work. Fresh has a stronger flavor. Hope this helps. -The Six Sisters
26. Mandy Lynn says:

    Thank you for the quick reply I will now be making these tonight... I haven't cooked any of your recipes that havent been a huge success so needless to say I love me some Six Sisters Stuff :)
27. Mandy Lynn says:

    Which do you use in the original recipe?
28. Six Sisters says:

    The picture on this post is with Parmesan cheese you would sprinkle on pizza. Another one of our sisters uses only fresh parmesan cheese and she chops it a little finer. They both taste wonderful.
29. Seldel says:

    Cute :)
30. Sunny Patel says:

    Hi
    Sounds like a good recipe, what sort of flour did you use?
    thanks
31. Six Sisters says:

    We used regular all purpose flour.
32. Katie says:

    These were OUTSTANDING. Seriously.... I think we'll be making these weekly now, haha!! Thank you so much for sharing =) What an easy recipe with fabulous results!
33. mechelle says:

    nice and easy receipe! complements to you!
34. Vanessa says:

    Wow looks amazing but how many calories
35. Christiana says:

    Yum yum yum!!!!!! The first words out of my husband's mouth were "holy KFC!!!!" Please don't be offended by that reaction, coming from him that's an extremely good reaction. These are so very yummy and a million times better than anything from KFC!!!! My children loved them as well. We made a double batch and froze some, so we'll see how they re heat. Thank you so very much for sharing!!!!!!
36. Lisa says:

    Do they not get soggy when frozen?
37. Savannah says:

    I soak my chicken strips in buttermilk all day...it tenderizes the chicken as well as makes a great base for the coating to stick to! Low fat as well. :)
38. Claire says:

    I really want to try these today. What are your suggestions for freezing and reheating that I must be aware of?
39. Jaclyn says:

    Just made these tonight and they came out perfect!! It's now my go-to recipe for chicken nuggets. Thank you so much!!
40. Elizabeth says:

    How long do you recommend popping them in the microwave for? Are they still kind of crunchy or would it be better to bake them again if that's what we wanted?
41. Cyd says:

    You could bake them or microwave them. I just microwaved them until heated through. Every oven varies and it depends on how thawed your chicken nuggets are.
42. big sisster says:

    Any other type of cereal similar to cork flakes? Or does it have to be corn flakes?
43. Karen Wolff says:

    Do you freeze them before or after baking?
44. Cyd says:

    We freeze them after baking.
45. Leslie Zimmerman says:

    Do you freeze them before or after baking them?
46. Sherri says:

    These were delicious. My hubby made them and we put them in the deep fryer and they were great. Another night I baked some to add to our salads and the toddler had nuggets to eat (she's not into salad just yet). Thank you. I love many of your recipes. This was a good one.
47. Cyd says:

    I baked them all and then froze them. Just thaw a little and reheat.
48. Kim C. says:

    I would think that Rice Crispies or maybe even Special K would work well....think the Rice Crispies would be delish!
49. Amy says:

    At what point in the above instructions would you recommend using the freezer method?
50. Cyd says:

    Hi Amy, we prepare them and cook them. Then we freeze them in a freezer bag or an airtight container. Then just thaw and reheat on a busy night!
51. Wendy says:

    we have even used bread crumbs (panko or regular)
52. Jenny says:

    I used a gluten free all purpose flour and they were still yummy.
53. Jen_M says:

    I was just wondering when you freeze the extras, do you bake them first and THEN freeze them or do you freeze them raw and cook when you take them out? Trying to get a lot of freezer meals ready for when I have my baby :)
54. Jen_M says:

    Forget my comment! I didn't see the one that was RIGHT above mine!
55. Cyd says:

    We baked them first and then freeze them. Then just thaw and reheat! Best of luck with your baby! Freezer meals come in handy!
56. Jenny says:

    Thanks for this great recipe we loved it! We loved it so much we made about 30 and then they were gone so now I have another batch in the oven. We will take your advice and freeze some if they last until tomorrow for lunch! I may try fish as well, we are no longer buying processed nuggets!
57. Sandi says:

    Just discovered your website tonight and I'm lovin' it....already selected half a dozen recipes to try out. I have made these nuggets for my grandkids for years. They love them and request them often. The only thing I do differently is to use crushed sour cream and onion potato chips. It adds to the calories, but not by that much if you don't really pig out on them. Can't wait to try your Korean BBQ Chicken for hubby. Thanx for the great website!!
58. Cyd says:

    Hi Sandi! We are so glad you stopped by and hope you'll be back!! Good luck with the Korean BBQ Chicken! :)
59. Kammy says:

    So simple and delicious!!
60. Jodi Meister says:

    accidentally read corn flakes wrong and used Frosted Flakes. I know it isn’t a healthy option however my hubby liked them and my daughter was so so. I will try the corn flakes next time.
