We challenged chefs of three different skill levels amateur Emily, home cook Lorenzo, and professional chef Saul Montiel from Cantina Rooftop to prepare their take on chicken nuggets. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices they made along the way both good and bad. Which nuggets are you dipping into first?
