Chicken nuggets

This recipe comes from a German television channel and it takes a bit of time. It is really delicious and allergy-friendly- mostly. I have also changed the recipe a bit as usual. Certainly it’s gluten free and with the almond salsa and maybe some oven roasted spring potatoes you have a real summer feast.

Good to know

If you have issues with garlic, omit it or use a bit of minced ginger instead. If you have challenges with red chili and the red pepper, use green instead. That’s what I do here, though the recipe is prettier with the red contrast. The blue cheese is really essential for the sharpness of the recipe and give it that extra something. Once I forgot and had to create a cream cheese/ blue cheese dip to make up for boring taste of the nuggets. If you absolutely hate even teh smell of blue cheese, consider trying with 2 tbsp of Dijon mustard instead. I have not tried that trick as I am allergic to mustard
