I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I really enjoyed these nuggets. The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender.

These nuggets were a bit too greasy for my taste. I'll try using less oil next time.

I loved the idea of these nuggets, but they didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The coating fell off of the chicken in the oven.

These were a bit dry, but still tasty. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time to help keep it moist.

I thought the coating on these nuggets was a bit too thick. I'll try using less pecans next time.
