Homemade Chicken Nuggets

Homemade Chicken Nuggets is loved by children and adults. Ready in 20 minutes. Ideal for lunch, picnics and snacks and can be hot or cold. I use either melted butter or a beaten egg to coat the chicken. However, using dried herbs adds extra flavour but also use spice like paprika.
