If I can do that my master plan for making succulent and juicy buffalo chicken nuggets will become reality!

no clue. Somebody somewhere has them, it's just a matter of how to get them!

Or I can just make my own. We're gonna get a propane powered forge down at the hackerspace soon. We'll do an educational class on it.

But perhaps instead of melting down aluminum for an ashtray, maybe I can fashion a mold or cast for something like those burger presses?

I'm wondering if you could work from a cookie cutter? Maybe search for one chicken shaped or the like?

cooking stores/sites have some pretty imaginative cookie cutters!

Good idea. But I need to press them into shape. That'd be a good start though. *hhhm*
