Additional notes
This recipe was developed from the video title and a matching published recipe for chicken nuggets with salad. The ingredients, quantities and preparation were not fully transcribed from the YouTube video. The nuggets may be cooked in the oven or an air fryer. The chicken must be cooked through completely. Add the dressing shortly before serving so the lettuce remains crisp. YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlP9JloinGs
