You know what's a quick-and-easy snack for the gaming table? Chicken nuggets – or "nugs," as those in the "stuffing one's face with breaded poultry morsels" industry put it. It's straightforward to toss 'em in the oven before the games begin, and later recover them during a quiet gameplay moment....
