Ingredients
Scale
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the Bang Bang sauce.
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded chicken nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, toss the nuggets in the Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crunch, you can fry the nuggets instead of baking them.
Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less sriracha.
These nuggets can be served with a side of vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
