Baked Chicken Nuggets

Kids just love this food! But, wait, adults do too! We adults might even love chicken nuggets even more than kids. These chicken nuggets are baked as opposed to fried. So, if you are trying to eat a bit healthier, then this recipe is certainly for you. 

I truly love chicken nuggets. I remember when my parents would order fast food for me when I was a child, I would get a four-piece nugget. That filled up my stomach then. However, now, that’s only a sample for me. I need at least an eight-piece. Of course, my stomach was smaller back then.
