"This is always one of the first things to disappear during parties! (If you use the egg substitute and no butter it won't be as crispy, but will be low fat.)"

Yum! best describes this tasty appetizer. I went the 'whole hog' and used the melted butter and the egg. I served with a jar of mild salsa. I also plan to make these at a work party we are having in the next few weeks. Thanks for posting! -
Great spicy chicken nuggets. This was our supper the other night. I serve with medium salsa. The coating turned out crisp and crunchy. I liked that they were baked and not fried--less mess to clean up. Thanks Junebug. -
What a great idea, the taco seasoning!! i used the egg and left the butter out, they were wonderfull and crisp. You were right they did disappear very quickly, served them as suggested with a medium picante sauce. will certainly do these again, thanks for sharing Junebug!! -
We really enjoyed this recipe. It was great game food. I dipped into a combo of sour cream and salsa as suggested by some other reviewers. I thought it brought out the flavor of the taco seasoning. I will definately be doing this recipe again!!! -
My kids absolutely loved these! My husband and I were okay with them and did not like them as much as the kids did, but because of the great success with the kids, I will be making this again. At least they are a lot healthier than the prepared chicken nuggets you buy anywhere else. That's a big plus! I personally thought these were very bland. The only change I made was I used Italian breadcrumbs because I didn't have plain on hand and I didn't use the melted butter.

I am a wife, Mother and Grandmother. I am a native Texan and can't imagine living anywhere else. My Grandmother taught me to cook before I could see the top of the counter. I remember standing on a stool in her kitchen learning to make pancakes. My Mother loved to cook and it seems she was cooking (or cleaning) most of the time. So those are the two ladies responsible for nurturing my love of cooking!

As you can see I cook and review recipes more than I post them. That's because I am a pinch of this and a dollop of that cook and it's hard to put those recipes down on paper.
