These chicken nuggets are a great way to use up leftover chicken. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional chicken nuggets.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken nuggets turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These chicken nuggets were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

These cornmeal-crusted chicken nuggets were a hit with my family! The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I served them with a side of honey mustard sauce and they were gone in no time.
