The secret to these chicken nuggets is that they're baked, not fried. Crispy on the outside yet succulent on the inside, these white meat chicken nuggets make a healthy fast-food alternative. Serve with ketchup, barbecue sauce or a fat free ranch dressing. Or simply combine a 1/4 cup of honey and a 1/4 cup of mustard for your very own honey-mustard sauce. They are great to keep in the freezer for nights when you don't feel like cooking

We were watching a commercial last night for chicken nuggets and my wife commented on how good they looked so I found this recipe for supper tonight. Tasted great and the lower fat is a bonus. I did add 1/2 tsp of garlic powder to the crumb mixture though.
