Serve with remaining dipping sauce.

Cook's Notes

Once you've tried this, you can vary the coating for the nuggest. Try crushed croutons, seasoned breadcrumbs, or potato flakes. For a change from chicken, try turkey breast, firm fish or extra-firm tofu.
* Don't give the dipping sauce to kids under 1 because of the honey.
