Crispy Chicken Bites (aka Nuggets)

Thanks SES!

CRISPY CHICKEN BITES (AKA CHICKEN NUGGETS)

Chicken breasts (boneless/skinless), cut into bite-sized pieces
Crisped rice cereal (about 6 - 8 cups)
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

Crush the cereal in a ziploc bag.
Pour crushed cereal into a large bowl, and add spices of your choice.
In seperate bowl or pie tin, combine eggs with water and beat well.
Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, then dredge in cereal mixture.
Arrange on greased cookie sheet, or on a sheet of kitchen parchment for easy clean up. Bake 350° for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve these with different sauces to dip them in.

To freeze: Allow to cool, and freeze on flat surface. After frozen, place in freezer bags and store. To serve, simply reheat and eat! A great "emergency" or "I forgot to thaw" meal.
