Melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan. Dip each chicken piece first in the butter, then in the flour mixture to coat well.
Melt 3 tablespoons of remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the chicken pieces and sauté until nicely browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the chicken.
Serve the chicken nuggets with toothpicks and your favorite mustard for dipping. (See sauce recipes below)
