Carob Barbecue Chicken Nuggets
Baked, not fried, this original recipe for Carob Barbecue Chicken Nuggets is our take on a global favorite. Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, using almond flour instead of bread crumbs or regular flour makes these homemade chicken nuggets gluten-free. Moreover, we used almond milk to keep this recipe dairy-free.
