In this time of confinement, I enjoy thinking of simple recipes with the contents of my cupboards. It must be said that I don’t necessarily have the same contents of closet, it’s true. I have mine decorated a bit more with squirrel embarrassment. And in the back of my cupboard, I found some leftover corn flakes, or rather “corn flakes.” Not enough for breakfast (and I don’t like it). so i decided to make something Homemade Chicken Nuggets, This is such an easy dish to make at home that you don’t have to be “lazy” and buy them frozen.

When I was little, I hated the sauce in the burgers at the fast food restaurants we would sometimes visit as a family. So I only ate nuggets. At about age 10, I tried eating burgers with “nugget steak.” There was gravy, so I took it off with my paper towels. Because at the time, we couldn’t ask without the sauce, or we were persuaded that no, frankly, it was boring. All you have to say is that Dally and I, it’s a long story from childhood. Later we found store brand nuggets from a supermarket chain that were bound with cornflakes and were better than fast food restaurant nuggets. Since then, I don’t eat fast food nuggets very often, I still have a lot of trouble with many sauces but I do eat burgers…

To soak my nuggets, I made a small sauce with tomato puree, smoked paprika, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar. A kind of quick barbecue sauce, so you don’t waste too much time.
