Now I'm embarrassed. Sorry.

I make these chicken bites all the time for parties. They disappear.

Sausage Balls:
1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage (or similar brand pork sausage)
2 cups bisquick (some recipes say 3 cups)
10 oz grated sharp cheddar cheese (I think the sharper the better)
Mix all ingredients (you'll need to use your hands and this takes some effort). Roll into 1-inch balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cheese straws are easy - drive to the grocery store and buy a package of them.
Cheese straws and ham biscuits are the classic nibbles in my part of the South. And iced tea.
I don't ever fry anything because I don't particularly like fried foods. But I lived with my elderly father for the past 10 years. He fried daily. There was a thin mist of grease everywhere no matter how much cleaning went on. I first noticed how sticky my kitchen got when he came to visit me about 20 years ago. When Dad was alive I bought butter 4 lbs at a time plus gallons of oil. He lived to be almost 89 in pretty decent health so I guess it didn't hurt him!!Just curious, is it for health reasons, clean-up, the smell, other?????
I haven't made them in years. I have no trouble buying them here, but have been known to order them online when I lived in California.Cheese straws have come up a few times, but they seem kind of tricky.
