Ahh sweet, sticky, bite sized morsels. Delicious Chicken Drummers. I haven’t met a child who doesn’t like these yet, unless they are vegetarian of course!
These chicken drummers are ideal for lunchboxes and dinner. Why not make them one night and use the leftovers (if there is any!) for school lunchboxes the next day. If you child doesn’t like the idea of sticky fingers at school, remove the chicken from the bones and include in wraps, salads or pastas for the lunchbox instead.
These are a favourite in our house. I almost have to fight the kids off to actually get them in the lunchboxes – true story.
