Overall, I was disappointed with these nuggets. They were not as crispy or flavorful as I had hoped.

These nuggets were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt in the coating next time.

The coating on the nuggets fell off a bit when I was cooking them. I think I would use a different type of breadcrumb next time.

I found that the nuggets were a little dry. I think I would add a bit more mayo or milk to the chicken mixture next time.

These nuggets are a bit time-consuming to make, but they are worth the effort. They are so much better than store-bought nuggets.

I used panko breadcrumbs instead of pecans and they were still delicious.

I made these nuggets in the air fryer and they turned out great! They were crispy and cooked evenly.

These nuggets are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken that I shredded and used in the nuggets.

I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I really enjoyed these nuggets. The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy.

These nuggets are also great for meal prep. I made a big batch on the weekend and reheated them throughout the week for quick and easy lunches.

I served the nuggets with a honey mustard dipping sauce. It was a great combination.

I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the coating for a little kick. It was the perfect amount of spice.

I used a food processor to grind the pecans, which made the coating extra fine. The nuggets turned out perfectly golden brown and crispy.

These pecan-crusted chicken nuggets were a hit with my family! The coating was crispy and flavorful, and the chicken was juicy and tender. I will definitely be making these again.
