American · Main course · 35 min total

Crispy baked chicken nuggets tossed in spicy buffalo sauce, perfect for game day or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Place beaten eggs in a second shallow bowl, and panko in a third bowl.
4. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then dip in egg, then coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 10 minutes, flip nuggets, and bake another 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
6. In a large bowl, whisk together hot sauce and melted butter. Add baked nuggets and toss to coat evenly.
7. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, spray nuggets with cooking spray before baking.
• Adjust hot sauce amount to taste; use less for milder nuggets.
• Leftover nuggets can be reheated in an air fryer or oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
