  1. I couldn't find "wing shaped" chicken patties so I just used chicken tenders instead. Other than that, I made it just as written and loved it. An easy snack or lunch. Would be great with a simple green salad on the side for dinner as well.
     
  2. My family loved it! Kids ages 6-22 and hubby, too. Fun idea.
     
  3. Seriously now, how can this possibly not be a hit with children? I used dinasaur shaped chicken patties, and only used half of the amount of ham-my ham was quite long so I cut them in half. Thanks for making me an 'Your Awesome Mom'!
     
  4. My five year old and I had a great time making these. My family all put in their votes, and while one loved them and the other didn't finish it averages out to an "okay" rating. Thanks for posting this creative and fun recipe!
     
  5. Very clever and easy to put together. I used one chicken tender as it was a little larger and some ham from our Christmas dinner. I thawed the chicken as you said and baked it 20 minutes. They turned out really nice. I didn't read about the ketchup or mustard dots for eyes until they were all eaten.

The games are addictive and a great opportunity to meet the members of this community. I had a blast co-hosting the first Zaar World Tour 2005 with ~Leslie~. Zaar World Tour II doubled in size and ~Leslie~ and I were joined with co-hosts Mama�s Kitchen and kzbhansen. Zaar World Tour 3 doubled again in size and Leslie, Mama's Kitchen and I were joined with SusieD, PanNan and JustCallMeToni! We also established the "Whine and Cheese Gang" which was a wonderful team that was put together to help all the teams playing. Zaar World Tour IV will be bigger and even better!!!
