Whether you call them nuggets or morsels or bites or chunks, you
will find that small pieces of breaded chicken are one of the all-time
favorite foods for lads. They like the fact that they are easy to bite and
love to dip them in sauce.
Children can help you make these treats. According to Penn State
Extension, now is the time to introduce them to safe food handling
when working with raw meat and poultry. Be sure to wash your hands

chunks with crumbs. Work on a tray or waxed paper covered surface

water after handling raw foods as you are doing it
