2 cups Made Without Breadcrumbs ⁠
2 tablespoons garlic powder⁠

Preheat an oven to 200 degrees fan bake and line a large baking tray with a wire rack. ⁠
Whisk the egg wash ingredients together in a medium-sized dinner bowl and set aside. ⁠
Combine the crumb ingredients in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle onto a large dinner plate. ⁠
Working one by one dip the nuggets into the egg wash, allow the excess to drip off and cover in the Breadcrumb mixture to coat the nugget completely.
