American · Main course · 32 min total

Crispy homemade chicken nuggets paired with a tangy-sweet sauce that rivals the fast-food favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, place beaten eggs. In a third dish, place panko breadcrumbs.
2. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then dip in egg, then coat with panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on a baking sheet.
3. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F. Fry nuggets in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
4. For the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Serve nuggets with sauce for dipping.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use seasoned panko or add a pinch of paprika to the breadcrumbs.
• Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
