A Yorkshire dinner lady is celebrating after her homemade chicken nuggets made it onto supermarket shelves.
Processed chicken nuggets have had a bad rap in the past but now Claire Proctor, a 47 year old Grandma from Bramham, North Yorks, is set to change the face of one of the UK’s most popular family foods. The dinner lady at HECK used to cook up her ‘gourmet goujons’ to feed hungry workers at lunchtime using a recipe she had perfected at home with her grandchildren. HECK co-founder, Jamie Keeble, liked them so much, he sent them out to retailers to try and now they are going on sale in 500 Asda stores from the end of this month and will be hitting Morrisons next month.
Claire, now known as ‘Nanna Nugget’, created her homemade chicken nuggets as a healthier option for her grandchildren and says: “I’m quite bowled over by the response”. My family love this recipe, but I never thought I’d be able to feed them to the nation. It just shows it’s possible to create tasty, convenience food with no nasties that families really love. I’m already planning my next ideas.”
HECK’s Jamie Keeble hopes the new range that includes Chicken Italia and Piri Piri Chicken Nuggets will prove
popular with families and fitness fans alike. “Claire is an absolute genius in the kitchen. She cooks up fantastic meals for our team every day and I’m so excited that her golden nuggets are now available to the nation. There’s no hidden ingredients in ours and they have the added benefit of being gluten-free too. We’re hoping that some of the local schools will also put them on the menu as we know they’re a real hit with children!”
