Restaurant Style Chicken Nuggets – these were so good, we were asked to remove the name of where these were from.

May 7, 2009

Sometimes we make excellent copy cat recipes, sometimes they are too close to the original restaurant.  These chicken nuggets were a large hit of ours.  So much so, the restaurant noticed and set us notification to remove their name from the site.

    It is crushed up saltine crackers.

    I would interpret Cracker Meal as crushed crackers. Probably something like club or ritz crackers. Maybe try different types or flavors for a twist. I think McCormick Seasonal needs to be changed to Season All or Seasoned Salt to help clarify what the heck it is. Hope this helps other people. I hope I understood correctly also.

    My husband loves chicken nuggets, so I’m definitely looking for new ways to cook them.

    Thank you, Stephanie for your wonderful site. I’m living in Germany and its not easy to come by some products or my favorite restaurant dishes from back in the US. Its been a fun time trying to substitute and make things I miss from scratch. Your website has really helped.
