Baked Coconut and Oatmeal Breaded Chicken Nuggets

I had this craving for chicken nuggets but I didn't feel like buying bread crumbs or shelling out money for Chik-Fil-A. So I got coconut flakes instead and threw in some oatmeal and milk for this experimental breading/batter. I got the proportions wrong and the presentation wasn't that great, but that just means I know what I can adjust next time: more of the dry ingredients or less milk. As far as experiments go, this one was quite tasty. I ate it with some honey mustard, but it tasted pretty good without any dipping sauce.
