Curt's Lemon Reggiano Parmesan Chicken Nugget Recipe

You may remember my Lemon Reggiano Chicken Guest post on
What's Cookin' Italian Style Cuisine?

Well if not here is the homemade chicken nugget version and the perfect afternoon Sunday snack. Actually the smell of them frying reminds me of homemade meatballs but in chicken form. The sauce I make that it's coated in is a simple fresh squeezed lemon sauce.
You will make these over and over believe me they are fantastic and the kids will thank you too!
