Chicken Nuggets

Okay y'all, I got desperate.  My picky eater will not eat any other chicken nuggets unless from they come from the holy grail itself, Chickfila.  So I jumped on pinterest thinking that I couldn't be the only mom with this problem.  I found some recipes for some home made chicken nuggets and I come across a common ingredient: Powdered SUGAR.  I beg your pardon Chickfila!  No wonder all the kids are addicted!  I could not believe my eyes!  So I picked a recipe that sounded the best.  Madison was involved in the entire process and was able to taste the first few.   She approves. If I can get that picky girl to approve, then you all know it must be right!
