Kitchen Essentials

Or otherwise known as @cheffinwithzach. I would describe myself as both a nerd and foodie. I graduated college with a bachelor's degree in computer science (Yes, I could have coded the website myself, but I was lazy. My true passion is cooking (eating too, of course), and I decided to pursue all things food instead of entering the tech world.

I began making food content about a 2 years ago–I was instantly in love with the process of brainstorming creative content ideas then turning that into a reality. To me, food content means connecting with others through stories and new ideas about food while inspiring them to cook.

I'm incredibly grateful to have the opportunity and privilege to turn my passion my career. Right now, I'm creating cooking content and I couldn't be any happier.

About this service: a subscription gets you access to my recipes and 1 LIVE cooking classes a month. I hope I  inspire to cook more, thank you for the support :)

Hey, I'm Zach.

I love chicken nuggets, but who the hell knows what are in those things? Safer to just make them from scratch–really easy too. So easy, that I made it with my 7 and 9 year old niece and nephew and they were easily able to follow along. We even did the ketchup from scratch but that was for the flex. You really don’t have to do that part, but it’s pretty good. As good as Heinz ketchup, aka the King of Ketchups. Hmmm I really don’t know to be honest. Make it and decide for yourself.

Chicken Nuggets & Ketchup

Add ground chicken to a bowl with the seasonings listed above. Thoroughly incorporate. Use a tbsp of chicken per nugget, shape into desired size.

Set 3 different plates with beaten eggs, flour, and corn flake crumbs.

First coat the chicken in flour, dusting off the excess. Then, dip in egg, let the excess drip off. Then, throw into the cornflake crumbs. Make sure it’s coated well all over.

Place a wire rack over a baking tray, then lay your chicken nuggets onto the wire rack. Coat with spray oil, then throw into the oven for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with some salt when they come out.

Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Set over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it begins to simmer, turn the heat down to low and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into a jar or bowl and let sit in the fridge until it’s at least room temperature.
