Combine with the bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder and cayenne pepper. Add the melted butter and mix until butter is evenly distributed. Dredge the chicken pieces a few at a time in the flour, then in the egg and then in the breading mix, coating well and lightly pressing the coating onto the nuggets.
