For extra crispy nuggets, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. For a healthier option, consider baking the nuggets on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet to allow air to circulate and promote even crisping. Nuggets can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from chilled. These nuggets also freeze well. Once baked and cooled, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
