Ok, admit it. You like chicken nuggets as much as your children do.  The little bite size pieces are so fun to pop in your mouth and you can dip them in just about anything and get a whole new flavor. This recipe has a little more grown up flavor but you can adjust it for children by changing the amount or combination of seasonings to your child’s taste.
