My family really liked it. It was easy to cook, even the store bought chicken nuggets weren't that bad in it : ) I'll definately make this meal again!

Let me start by saying I don't usually like Asian food. I also don't usually buy chicken nuggets. I bought an Angel food package(check out Angel Food Ministries online) this month with the nuggets in it so I was on the hunt for a different way to cook them. This is way better than any takeout you could get.I also count it as one of the best tasting meals I've made. There was no obvious syrup flavor but I used real maple syrup. Yummy!
