Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts cut into nugget-sized pieces
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce or BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk or fork
  • Tongs
  • Paper Towels
  • Plate
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Slice the boneless chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches each.
  2. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until blended.
  4. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture; repeat to double-coat each piece and place on a plate to rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the coated chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes per batch, turning as needed, until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
  6. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels while you finish the remaining batches.
  7. While the chicken is frying, whisk together the buffalo sauce (or BBQ sauce) and honey until combined.
  8. Toss the drained chicken pieces in the sauce until evenly coated, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4–5 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer until warmed through to keep the exterior crisp.
