Additional Information:
J, C and Daddy FECS liked it. You can freeze it up before baking it. After experimenting with many on-line recipes, I find that it is not necessary to make the egg batter. Using just eggs are fine. And I found that frying it with coated with egg barter didn't come up good at all - the nuggets look like some thick Asian banana fritters. Coating them with bread crumbs before baking them give much better result and also healthier than frying. Serve the chicken nuggets with ketchup or mayonnaise and French fries with salad.
Trying out different recipes on the net, I find that it is not necessary to make the egg batter. Just using eggs are good enough. It is also not necessary to make the bread crumbs mixture. Just using bread crumbs are good enough too. And it is not necessary to roast the bread crumbs. There is not much of a difference in the end results.
