- Set our 3 shallow dishes. Place flour in 1 dish. Place egg and whisk in 3/4 cup water in another dish. Finally, place panko breadcrumbs in the last dish.
- Dip each nugget into flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs.
- Place on greased baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F, then flip over, and bake for another 20 minutes until done.
