Crazy Good Home Made Chicken Nuggets

Ok So i got these off of one of the blogs i follow usually her stuff is gourmet but this is wonderfull. Kyler loves chicken nuggets and now i can make them at home. They are Mc Donalds look copycat recipe and sooo yummy. They are probably way better for you than Mcd's because you know whats going into them. So make them they are really really easy and so good.

Note: Don't bake them it doesn't work. Also you could use bread crumbs if you like instead of flour.

Tip: They freeze well so you can make extra and freeze them. And i only use about half the salt in mine and they taste fine so do what ya like.
