Your recipe sounds great, but I am looking for low cal/low fat ideas. Please explain how fried chicken could be only 4 grams of fat.

These were a big, delicious hit with my family. Best with a dipping sauce like NurseDi says. Okay the next day, but REALLY AWESOME to snack on when each batch is done. Thanks for another keeper! :)

My 4 year old nephew spent the night and I searched for a food he woud like. He ate these until I thought he would burst. (Dipped in ketchup!) My whole family enjoyed them. Thanks for a great recipe.
