The days of eating plain old chicken nuggets are going extinct. Why be bland when you can serve your family a plate of homemade “dinosaur” nuggets? Don’t worry, these nuggets don’t have any real dino in them, but they do have a twist. Covered in a layer of crunchy Honey Nut Cheerios, these chicken nuggets are both savory and sweet, and are sure to dino-score you major points from even the pickiest eaters!
