Who doesn’t like to devour some crunchy and finger licking homemade chicken nuggets? These are super lean, and they are gluten-free, for those of us sensitive or intolerant to gluten. I have a few versions of gluten-free chicken tenders, and I love them all. In fact, I also have a grain-free version to die for that I will be sharing with you later on, but today, I was craving for something crunchier. So, I decided to use Ian’s Panko breadcrumbs. For those of you not familiar with Ian’s Friendly Foods for Life products, you should definitely look them out! Their products are not only allergy friendly, but also gluten-free and free of preservatives, artificial ingredients, trans-fats, added hormones or antibiotics.
