Mickey D's Chickie Nuggets

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

These little chicken nuggets taste exactly like their restaurant clone, except you know exactly what's going in them and how fresh they are. Fix these for your kids or just indulge yourself.

My husband and I followed the recipe exactly...and they did not work. Not sure what we did wrong even after rereading the recipe several times. But with four chicken breasts wasted we can't afford to keep trying them.

Really good !!! I added paprika to the dry ingredients, and it came out perfect !!! I think it's really important to follow the recipe.

Very good! A real kid pleaser. I ended up needing a little more flour, they all clumped together in a gooey blob in the bag, so for the last step I just dredged them in a bowl. BI did have to experiment to get the cooking time right and i would prefer if the recipe had some suggestion regarding this. All in all, a great recipe and not nearly as complicated as it sounds.
