Submitted by Killer Tomato on Fri, 10/03/2014 - 12:30I made this recipe with a teenage class, and found that we had to cook the nuggets MUCH longer than 18-20 minutes (the chicken was in pretty big chunks) suggested. Using "no longer pink inside" as a gauge for doneness is not exactly precise. It was a great teaching segue to "food safety" and the use of meat thermometers though!
