How to cook nuggets in the oven?
Nuggets at home in the oven differ from deep-fried ones only in the cooking method. The preparatory process itself is similar to the classical one.

- Bake the nuggets in the oven at 180 degrees for no more than 20 minutes. Otherwise, they may become dry and rubbery.
