- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Freezing: You can freeze these nuggets before cooking. Just bread them and place them in the freezer until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag.
- Pairing: Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as honey mustard, ranch, or ketchup.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings or even add some shredded cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
