Old-fashioned chicken nuggets no more

One of the few things my youngest will eat in any form is chicken nuggets.
Or so I thought.
For years, her default meal at fast-food restaurants and our local fish place was chicken nuggets; when I do my weekly grocery shopping, I usually pick up a package of frozen nuggets to have in the house for after-school or those days my husband and I have things to do at dinner time and the kids are on their own.
This past Sunday, the usual nuggets I buy, which have a gluten-free coating, weren’t where I could find them, so I picked up a box of the old-fashioned nuggets we used when our youngest was still in single digits. That night, I had my usual baked/fried chicken meal, so the nuggets weren’t out of their box until lunch on Monday.
I made 6 of the old-fashioned nuggets. My youngest ate three of them, then stopped.
“These taste like fast-food nuggets,” she said.
“And?”
“Well, we had real chicken for dinner last night .. and we don’t usually get this kind any more … and I don’t like them.”
I believe she’s developing a palate.

Try the chicken patties, instead of the nuggets or make your own breaded cutlet.
