Do you miss breaded chicken? Yeah, me too.Â
Actually, it’s a guilty pleasure of mine. I absolutely love and crave chicken nuggets when I’m not feeling motivated that day.
My family loves non-breaded chicken nuggets but I just can’t get on board with that. Give me ALL THE BREADING! Well, for that reason we needed to find a low carb chicken nugget solution.
How May Net Carbs per Chicken Nugget serving?
- 1.5 Net Carbs per hefty chicken nugget serving with them being made low carb. Hecks to the yeah.
Now my family prefers these without the hot sauce and instead dipping into a low carb barbecue sauce.
I’m all about the saucy buffalo sauce lately and dipping into some Low Carb Ranch. If you can’t tell by our Buffalo Sloppy Joes.
Making Plain Low Carb Chicken Nuggets
If you’d like to make plain breaded chicken nuggets just simply omit coating the nuggets in the hot sauce. Pretty simple! There are times that I will make a half and half batch to make the entire family happy.
I personally love dipping them in my favorite low carb ranch dressing. I end up feeling like I’m not missing out on anything. I might not be able to eat breaded chicken in a local pub, but dammit I can eat these at home with a low carb margarita and I’m happy as a peach.

I made these last night and dipped them in Blue Cheese Dressing yummm. I didn’t have any liquid coconut oil…so, I used olive oil still good. Maybe, I should have just melted some solid coconut oil.
Yes liquid coconut oil is just melted coconut.. 🙂
But olive oil is a fabulous alternative and so happy you enjoyed it!
