Notes

To enhance flavor, consider brushing the nuggets with honey or maple syrup during the last minute of grilling. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For added flavor variations, try incorporating different marinades or spices, such as cayenne for heat or smoked paprika for a deeper flavor. Don't skip the marinating step; it’s key to the deliciousness of the nuggets!
