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?
