I prepared these for my family this weekend and they were a big hit! For the first time in a long time everyone at the table loved everything on their plate, and anyone with a picky eater knows that is quite an accomplishment. I will definitely make these again in the very near future.

Very tasty! Kids loved them too and ate them up. "Way better than the frozen nuggets," they said. I will make a double-batch next time! Forgot the parmesean cheese and they still turned out great. Left out the salt. Added a bit more seasoning salt, garlic and paprika. Perfect! Foil on cookie sheet keeps nuggets from sticking and makes cleanup easy.

I thought these were great. I read the previous reviews before cooking and kicked up the spice by adding chili powder and cayenne pepper...delish! no doubt a keeper. Thank you!

This is a great recipe. Everyone loved it. I'm going to try it with jumbo shrimp the next time I make it.

We liked this recipe. Even my two picky eaters gave it a thumbs up and said I could make it again. I will try different seasonings next time and maybe add some bbq sauce to the butter mixture for a little different taste.

These are really tasty and so easy to make...I just added a little cajun seasoning to the batter for a little more zip. You don't even need any sauce if you don't like dips. Helpful hint...whenever I make anything that can stick to foil or a pan, like these nuggets, I use Reynolds non-stick foil...it really does work; and the clean-up is a snap! Enjoy!!!!

I add hot sauce to taste to the dipping liquid and serve with a blue cheese dressing - sort of a buffalo wings thing without the bones. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is such an easy and Great recipe.. This was my first time to make it the only thing is i didn't turn it ( I forgot ) so when i tried when they were almost done cooking the breading got scraped off... Also I recommend adding a little more seasoning didn't burst with flavor... Next time I think I might try adding a little Italian dressing to the butter dip. Overall I will make this again many times Hope this helps
