For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing. These nuggets can also be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier alternative.
