1 (5 to 6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast (-cut into 1-inch pieces)

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon salt

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon sriracha (or another type of hot sauce)

1 teaspoon honey

Οδηγίες

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.

In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk and place the breadcrumbs on a plate or in another bowl.

Take your chicken pieces, cut into 1-inch sizes, and dredge them in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated.

Next, immerse the chicken pieces in the buttermilk. Allow any excess buttermilk to drip off.

Coat each buttermilk-dipped chicken piece evenly with breadcrumbs. Place the coated pieces on a separate plate.

In a 10-inch skillet, preheat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat. Use an oil or a candy thermometer to ensure the oil reaches and maintains a temperature of 350°F.Pro Tip: Always check the oil’s temperature before adding the chicken to achieve consistent cooking.

Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side. Then, flip the pieces and cook for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165°F with a meat thermometer.

Remove the cooked chicken pieces from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Make the dipping sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and honey. Serve this zesty sauce as a delightful complement to your chicken nuggets.Pro Tip: Taste test your sauce and adjust the spice and sweetness to suit your preference.
