Ingredients
Cooked breaded chicken nuggets
12 (frozen, fully cooked)
Refrigerated buttermilk or country biscuits
1 (4 1/2 ounce) package (refrigerated)
Medium zucchini or summer squash
1 (cut into 3x3/4-inch strips)
Butter
1/3 cup (melted)
Honey
3 tablespoons (used for drizzling)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
On a microwave-safe plate, arrange the frozen chicken nuggets in a single layer. Microwave them uncovered for 1 minute on high power; this will make it easier to skewer them, though they won't be fully heated.
3
Carefully cut each biscuit in half, either with kitchen scissors or a knife.
4
Prepare four skewers (metal or pre-soaked wooden). Start by threading a piece of chicken nugget onto each skewer, followed by a half biscuit, and then a strip of zucchini or summer squash. Repeat the process, leaving about 1/4 inch of space between each piece.
5
Place the assembled skewers on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and the chicken is heated through.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter and honey until well combined. Once the skewers are done baking, drizzle part of this mixture over them and reserve the rest for dipping.
