Notes

To freeze these chicken nuggets, prepare as outlined in the recipe.

Let the chicken nuggets cool and then place them in a single layer on a wire rack and place them in the freezer for 1 hour – this will keep the chicken nuggets from all sticking together when you place them in a bag in the freezer and pull out a couple for a quick lunch. If you don’t mind them all sticking together, you can skip this step.
