Anyone make their own chicken nuggets/strips?

I'm thinking about making some for the first time and freezing them......would I freeze them raw or bake them first?  If I marinate them in milk and dredge them in breadcrumbs and then freeze wouldn't that be a little messy???  TIA!

    I cut up fresh chicken, dip in egg mixture, then dip in breadcrumbs.  I either fry in olive oil or bake.  Super yummy!

    I make my own from time to time, but I've never frozen them before. If I was going to, I would probably bake them first, then freeze them.

    I usually cut up chicken into strips, coat in a thin strip of dijon mustard, and then use crushed cheese crackers to coat.  I have used storebought cheese crackers before (like Cheezits), but usually I make my own cheese crackers for it, because they are cheap, easy, and healthier to make that way.  Then I bake them.  I have never frozen them, but like others I would freeze after I baked them.

    I freeze my chicken strips after I bake them.

    I've never attempted to freeze them. I would probably coat them in the breadcrumbs and bake them fully first. I don't see how it would work otherwise.

    Yep, I would bake first.  I think the coating would get all soggy, otherwise. 

    Btw, using panko instead of breadcrumbs (or half panko, half breadcrumbs) can make them a bit crunchier when baked.  I always make my own, yum.

    When the kids were little I did. I blended chicken, broccoli, a little cheese, an egg and bread crumbs together, formed a nugget, rolled it in breadcrumbs and baked it with a little olive oil on a baking sheet.

    They loved them. I did them in smaller batches so I never had to freeze. They were super easy
