Chef Frank makes Cafeteria Chicken Nuggets, Sliders & Patties

Doing cafeteria duty would be the last place I thought I would get an idea for a video. This is my take on the classic chicken pattie served in a middle school cafeteria. The meat mixture can be made into any number of shapes. Best of all they result is tasty & easy to make.

I liked this video just to spite Frank’s wife

[civilizeddiva]

00:18: Middle school children get the opportunity to learn from a chef! Awesome

[leventdagdelen]

Liking and commenting so that Frank can impress his wife :)

That little smile upon tasting the nugget lets me know how awesome this nostalgia trip is. <3

💜LOVE💜 that you're feeding your inner child's nostalgia, despite your wife's protests, Chef!!! 💜💜💜 This is exactly how I share the flavors of my childhood with my own Worldschooled child. Mixing fond memories with 💜LOVE💜 is so much better for children than pink slime, anyway. 😉 Those middle school students are fortunate to be able to work with you!

Mrs. Proto let Uncle Frank embrace his inner child! Lol I still eat chicken nuggets as a 36 year old. They're quick and comforting. Thanks for the video!

[guess]

Reminded me of school lunch of basic roast chicken, pretty bland mashed potatoes and plain white bread. It was a comfort meal and to this day, it's one of my fav meals -- of course a little kicked up. Reminded me of that meal *and* the coffee cake. Thanks for the memories. :)

"I do think of food a lot"
Me too Frank.. Me too.

[michaelbullard]

Dude why am I just now finding this channel! I bet your kids love you... because they get to eat during class of course lol. Thank you! The way you explain what you are doing is perfection. This is what I am watching during a night shift in a control room haha Appreciate you sir.

Chicken Nuggets/Patties are a comfort food for me. I haven't had them in forever because I've been trying to cut back on processed food. Now I can have them worry free. Thanks Chef Frank!

"Fries-n-gravy" is my 1970's high school food memory. - Living in Canada it's only some curd cheese away from Poutine. - lol
Keeping the skins for frying/baking is a super idea! I also keep the bones for stock.
Dipping in ketchup? Humm... Chef. - lol - Cheers!

Frank: I’ve eaten a lot of good burgers and sliders in my life but none will ever be as good as the ones they has for a dollar from my middle school lunch cart, So I totally feel you.

Greetings, Chef Frank. Thanks for yet another innovative video. 👏

Years ago, a coworker invited a few people over, and she taught us how to de-bone a full chicken, leaving the fully intact carcass splayed out breast side down.

She layered it with stuffing, then mashed potatoes. Rolled it up and roasted/baked it.

It was amazing. She cut it into slices, like a meatloaf.

Any chance that you would/could do a video about how this was done?

I sure hope so. It was delicious.

Chef Frank, I mean this in a positive way. That middle school you work at needs to hire you at their cafeteria. The chicken game would go up, at the very least. Lol. Hope you and your family had a Blessed Thanksgiving. Keep up the good work. - Juls

This is definitely a sentiment I've had before. I know the chicken patties and "tacos" and pizza I had at school sucked, but I still am super nostalgic for it.

[canebro]

I love this. Making a lot of the comfort foods from childhood, but making them yourself so you know exactly what is in it.

[shawndavis]

Love this video. The best cafeteria lunch was PIZZA FRIDAY!!!! I'd get double lunch that day with extra chocolate milks. School lunch in the 80s to early 90s was great! Today's school lunches are terrible!

11:55 - they call it a fish spatula, but it might as well be an everything spatula since it's the best choice for just about everything.

[rcmaniac]

I feel like this is "the thing" going on now (food that was created because people cook, then commercialized to the point of being hated, then recreated as _food_ again) and I'm loving it. There are so many things I would probably never go for simply because it just was never appealing, not "good", etc. that I've seen people remaking and I go "oh... I should try that".

[Sqwirle]

This looks good. I was a brown bagger but will have to try.
