Crunchy Chicken Nuggets

I found this fun recipe for chicken nuggets using cheerios instead of bread crumbs the other day and it turned out to be quite delicious. I typically do not enjoy breading chicken since it always makes my fingers really gross and goopy, but today I used a bag, like shake 'n' bake. I don't know why I haven't done that before. It's so much easier, less of a mess, and I don't find breadcrumbs under my fingernails during dessert.
