Chicken nuggets are a huge staple in my kids’ menu selections. I mean, they are 6 and 3 so chicken nuggets are their idea of “gourmet” food anyways. I don’t really mind because they are super easy and fast to prepare which makes meals on busy weeknights {or these days…busy weekends} so much easier.
I am always looking for ways to bring in new flavors or take their dinner beyond just a plate of nuggets to make dinner a little more interesting for them. Recently, Tyson introduced Cheesy Chicken Nuggets and I knew we had to try them. Combining cheese with a chicken nugget is like the ultimate thing for them. It would be like making a chicken nugget pizza…hmmm, there is an idea they would love too! In an effort to make these new chicken nuggets even more fun, I used them to create some cheesy chicken nugget kabobs.
I found these nuggets during a recent trip to Walmart to pick up a few things that someone had posted on Instagram that caught my eye. Our Walmart sometimes get food products before some of the local grocery stores so I always like to stroll through and see what catches my eye.
The chicken nuggets were in the freezer section along with the other newest flavor: spicy nuggets. I got home right before lunchtime so decided to try them out on my littles for the upcoming lunch. While the nuggets taste great in the microwave, I always prefer to bake them in the oven.
Just for fun, once they were done, I slid them onto some bamboo sticks along with some tator tots to create the cheesy nugget kabobs. Layer the kabobs on top of your favorite dipping sauce {ketchup for my littles} and add some fresh fruit for a great little lunch. As I was creating the kabob, I loved how I could actually see the cheese on top of the nugget.
The kabobs and nuggets were a huge hit. My husband missed lunch but came in a grabbed a leftover nugget. He liked them so much that he actually requested them for dinner that night. Of course, there were no complaints from my chicken nugget loving kids.
Are your kids chicken nugget lovers? Or maybe you are like me and your husband is a big fan too? If so, definitely give the cheesy nuggets a try because I bet they will be a winner. You can even try the cheesy nuggets out before you buy them by visiting one of the product demonstrations at Walmarts around the country during the weekend of November 15, 2013.
You can find out more about the new chicken nugget flavors from Tyson by following them on Twitter and Facebook.
We love Tyson chicken in our house. And, of course, are 3 girls are nugget lovers so I bet their new cheesy nuggets would add a yummy new twist to the nugget obsession.
I’ll have look for them on my next visit to Walmart.
Cheers to you and yours,
Therese
Tyson is by far our favorite brand for nuggets. We had the cheesy ones again last night for our pre-trick or treat dinner and they were a hit.
Cheese and chicken nuggets are two of my favorite things! I’ll have to look out for these. Thanks for sharing, Shannah!
Definitely give these a try. They were a hit in our house.
I love the kabob idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much. Our kids love it when something comes on a stick 😉
My kids would love these nuggets AND the kabobs!
Thanks! My kids {and husband} definitely loved them. We’ve already bought our second bag.
The kabobs look like fun to make (and eat!).
They were a lot of fun to make. I even had my daughter make her own for fun.
This is such a cute idea! My kids love chicken nuggets too!
Thanks!
These look pretty good! Nuggets used to be a staple in my home but after a few years I think my kids burnt out on them! It’d be nice to try something new to mix it up a little.
My kids show no sign of burning out but it will be interesting to see where nuggets fit in as their tastes change.
They look yummy. cheese makes everything better.
Oh, I so agree with you on that one…cheese does make everything better.
That Kabob idea is great! Thanks so much for the idea!
Thanks!
My son is now a vegetarian, but not too long ago he would have loved these, I just know it!
HOw long ago did your son become a vegetarian? Our au pair was a vegetarian until recently.
November it will be a year! He’s 7, so he started when he was 6. He loves animals and once he made the connection that was it.
That is so interesting. I am always fascinated when younger kids make such a major decision.
Looks yummy! I’m sure most of the kids would love these kabons! Thanks for a great idea!
My kids really like the idea of their dinner on a little stick.
These kabobs look like something the whole family will enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
I think they are super fun too.
I wonder if there is a child anywhere who doesn’t love chicken nuggets. I’ll have to try them cheesy-style!
Haha…I would say no but I do know one kid. There is always one I guess 😉
My kids would love those!
Hope you give them a try. They were a hit in my house.
My kids would LOVE these chicken nuggets with cheese~!
They are really tasty.
We use only Tyson nuggets at our house- you can’t go wrong with them!
I totally agree. Tyson is the way to go for nuggets.
I consider my kids to be chicken nugget experts, but they’ve never tried these – chesse and chicken would be yummy for them!
I was surprised I hadn’t seen them before either. We are usually very familiar with all Tyson nuggets.
oh cool, I didn’t know they came out with cheesy nuggets, I will have to try them for my kids! thanks1
Definitely go find these nuggets. They are delicious.
I love that you made the nuggets more fun and appealing. Of course, kids would eat these anyway. Great idea
Haha…my kids would probably eat the nuggets alone too.
Oh. We haven’t seen a cheesy version from Tyson yet. These look yummy!
I hope you can find them…they are delicious.
These look interesting. Not sure if my boys would eat them but I can try!
I wasn’t sure how my super picky daughter would do with these but she loved them.
Ok how in the world did I NOT know that Tyson made these?!? My kids LOVE cheesy chicken nuggets – wait until I tell them this!
These are brand new so maybe you just haven’t spotted them yet. 🙂
Is that Buffalo sauce I see? Yum!
Haha…it is actually sweet and sour and ketchup. I love buffalo sauce with nuggets though!
I’ll have to make these for my kids!
Hope they enjoy them. They were a hit at my house.
Cheesy Chicken Nuggets? That sounds so good! My girls would enjoy these.
My kids {and husband} loved them!
wow i have never heard of the cheesy ones before but my daughter loves cheese and nuggets so she would love these im sure!
I had never heard of the cheesy ones either! They are a huge hit in our house though so I am sure I will be buying them again.
These look great! My kids would love them!
My kids are huge fans and I keep getting requests for the nuggets!
I have never thought about chicken nuggets on kabobs before. What a cute and fun idea!
My kids love the idea of anything on a stick so I thought they would be fun.
having food on a stick is always more fun. we love kebabs. i should get these for the kids’ lunches- i found kebab skewers that will fit in a “sandwich” sized container to make lunch more fun!
Those are perfect skewers! I had to cut mine to make them shorter.
Davey is a chicken nugget nut! I will give these a try! I don’t think I have seen them in the stores…but then I was not looking for them. I will be looking now!
These are new to stores so just keep your eye for them! They are definitely delicious.
A very quick and easy meal for kids. It’s a dream come true for babysitters.
Kids love eating with their hands, such a good idea!
Must try this for my son. He’d love it. These are kabobs he’d eat.
Looks yummy….something new to try out. I love the tyson brand.
We love tyson products. I’ll have to get some of these cheesy nuggets next time I go shopping!
