ZESTY CHICKEN NUGGETS
Ever since I first saw the advert for a Tefal Actifry I have coveted one- a way to make crispy golden chips with the smallest amount of oil! But that was all I really knew it could do, so when Tefal offered me the chance to try and Actifry and gave me some recipe challenges, I was excited to see what else the Actifry could do!
My first challenge from Tefal was to create a healthy chicken nugget recipe. I was happy about this one as I love chicken nuggets! You can watch here how I made them:
I am absolutely sold on how brilliant the Actifry is, it’s totally hassle-free cooking, not only does it cook things very quickly, as it constantly stirs for you, there is no need to stand over the pan stirring. I’m still discovering some of the amazing things that you can make in it!
