These are my children's favorite chicken bites- I made them often because they were always what the kids liked. My son always asked for them for his lunch at school, for his birthday party, his First Communion and his High School graduation party...and that was a lot of chicken bites! I made these even before McDonald's who made them in 1980. They were first invented by Robert Baker a scientist in 1950 but were not quite like these.. Try this recipe and see if you like them- I am sure you will..These are so good to snack on sitting out on the patio with a nice glass of wine or cold beer!
