I've got a recipe for chicken nuggets if any one wants it.

Much nicer than organic or otherwise.

no not really?( the recipe)
is it like schnitzel?

DH was looking at the ingredients on something organic yesterday was it biscuits? Anyway, just as full of hydrogenated oils (can you spell 'H E A R T D I S E A S E' anyone?) as the ordinary variety. I used to work in a health food shop and refer to the buiscuits and crisps as 'junk food' which really annoyed some of the customers but sheesh! If it's full of sugar, salt and fat not top quality food - not for anybody.

I posted a recipe for some a while ago - that reminds me, they will eat that, the little devils.

Personally, I think they are all a load of rubbish, bums and eyelids as twiglett says.

yes I know I knwo but ar ehe organic ones any better

Homemade Chicken Nuggets

750g minced chicken
175g breadcrumbs
175g grated cheddar
1 tbsp mayo to bind
1 clove garlic
salt and pepper
beaten egg and some fine toasted breadcrumbs to coat the nuggets

Preheat oven to 180C. Mix all ingredients up to and including salt and pepper together. Form into whatever sized nuggets (its up to you, mine are sort of walnut sized) and roll them in beaten egg and then in toasted breadcrumbs. You can freeze them now if you want to.

Place on greased baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes (45 if frozen). Voila!

They don't take long to make and once they are done you can freeze them. They are delicious too!

Tescos breaded chicken mini fillets. Proper chicken in breadcrumbs, no bums or eyelids.

And homemade biscuits with no hydrogenated fats or preservatives, colourings or artificial anything in them.

coddy, maybe, usually organic companies try a bit harder than most to make things a bit tastier/healthier, I think its the amount of chicken in them you want to watch. I would have thought the Value ones are literally balls of greasy breadcrumbs that have been wiped in chicken grease - not a bit of real chicken in there.

but how do they get mini fillets? mini chickens?

Personally I suspect the organic ones are only better in as much as the chicken isn't full of whatever non-organic chickens are fed/pumped full of. Fat/salt/yucky bit wise they're probably much the same.

The organic eyes and bums havn't been squirted with chemicals???!!!

I make my own, takes minutes, food processor, chicken breast, grated apple, onion, and anything else you feel like adding. Roll up in balls, roll in flour then breadcrumbs, shallow fry till cooked. Freeze and then just bake in oven as required.

Big chicken fillets chopped up small I guess . I don't want to think of poor little mini chickens...

lol @ twigs

I think that the For Georgia's Sake brand are okay as they are made of proper bits of chicken and not eyelids etc. I read an article once (in the Grauniad, of course) about the guy who set up the company - Georgia was his daughter and she had some health problem that required special diet.

Anyway I hope this is right as we do buy For Georgia's Sake burgers for the DSs!

I have a feeling that the same company make Tesco own brand organic chicken nuggets too, so they should be okay.

LOOK YOU LOT I need to feed three kids ina hurry
just fgs its not going to kill them! they eat normal food virtuallly all the time

never seen that brand down here. Helen browning organic quick cook sausages are good though - but not chicken nuggets, I will admit.

then buy value ones and have done with it!

I HATE ORGANIC PRODUCT - WHAT A TOTAL RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!! I have a TOTAL bug bear about this subject!!!!

It is just an excuse for manufacturers to sell us the same food at double the price!!!

My mother and her mother and her mothers mother all ate non-organic food and knowone ever died of pestersides!!!!!! AArrrgghhhh!!!! I'm so against organic stuff - IMO it's just for posh people to buy to WASTE THEIR MONEY!!!!!

me too but like to have a fish finger or nigget int he freezer for emergencies

Oops sorry Coddy, was just trying to help. Didn't mean to offend anyone .

no D!i know they are crap I just wanted to know if organic are less crap!
(says he mother whose son toddle soff to school with home made cheese muffins)

I think less crap. I would buy them. but the dds wouldnt eat them

I am sure they are much less crap. And not made of swill.

coddy, don't know if that helps but M&S do nice bits of chicken coated in breadcrumbs which are tasty, they might also have organic ones. I don't buy chicken nuggets so can't advise on these.
