American · Main course · 27 min total

Crispy homemade chicken nuggets paired with a tangy honey mustard dipping sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions

1. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, place beaten eggs. In a third bowl, place panko breadcrumbs.
2. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then dip in egg, and finally coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (350°F).
4. Fry nuggets in batches without crowding, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
5. For the sauce, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
6. Serve nuggets immediately with honey mustard sauce.

Tips

• For extra crispy nuggets, let coated nuggets rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes before frying.
• Leftover nuggets can be reheated in an oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes.
• Substitute chicken thighs for more flavor.
