Baked Chicken Nuggets

Guilty pleasure #322, Wendy’s chicken nuggets. I haven’t been to Wendy’s in years but I got a craving and resisted knowing I could make heartier and healthier ones at home. These are perfect by themselves or you can serve them over a salad. These also make great game day food! Enjoy:)
