What are your most happy childhood memories?
For me, some that stand out are eating breakfast as a kid at our table before school with my bother & sister. Usually over a bowl of cereal, we’d chat with my mom while she worked around the kitchen preparing for the day. Actually, it seems like a lot of my memories are centered around our kitchen, and family meals together. One of the family favorites for dinner was when she’d make us sweet & spicy baked chicken nuggets, coated with Honey Nut Cheerios™and cajun seasoning.
My sister and I both agree to this day that they’re some of the best chicken nuggets on the planet.
First of all, grind the cereal in a food processor until finely ground.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can smash a cup at a time in a gallon size ziplock bag by rolling a pin or a heavy glass over the bag.
Next, season the chicken generously with cajun seasoning.
Then, cut chicken into nugget size pieces.
Put chopped Cheerios™ on a plate.
Dip the nuggets into barbecue sauce to coat, then roll the chicken in the cereal until fully coated.
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray & add coated nuggets.
Bake at 425 for approximately 25 minutes.
The breading on the nuggets should be a nice golden brown and the juice of the chicken should be clear.
Pair with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

These chicken nuggets look yummy! My one year old is enjoying more table foods these days and I'll have to make them for her.
