Baked Chicken Nuggets With Easy Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipes

THE BEST CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add panko breadcrumbs to a large baking sheet and spread out in an even layer. Spray breadcrumbs with nonstick olive oil cooking spray. Bake for 2 minutes, then stir breadcrumbs (or just give the pan a shake) and then bake for 2-3 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Keep heat in the oven.
• Transfer breadcrumbs to a medium bowl. Whisk in spices: salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Set aside.
• Line the large baking sheet with an oven safe wire metal rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Dip each chicken cube into the egg mixture, then use a tong to grab each chicken nugget and toss into the breadcrumb mixture to completely coat with breadcrumbs. Use tongs to transfer to the wire rack, placing about 1 inch apart.
• Generously spray the tops of the chicken nuggets with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and temp reaches 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer. Serves 4. Serve with BBQ sauce, honey mustard, ketchup or whatever sauce you'd like!

BAKED CHICKEN NUGGETS WITH EASY HOMEMADE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the nuggets: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Place the panko, garlic powder, Italian herbs and salt in a separate shallow bowl and stir to combine.
• One at a time, dip the chicken chunks in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. (Keep one hand dry to help adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.) Make sure the chicken chunks are completely coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Spray each nugget with nonstick spray. Bake until browned and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
• For the barbecue sauce: In a small saucepan, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and paprika. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the nuggets.

BBQ-GLAZED CHICKEN NUGGETS

Steps:

• Prepare the barbeque glaze. Pour apple cider vinegar into a small saucepan and whisk in garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder. Bring to a boil and add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, molasses, dark brown sugar and honey. Lower heat to medium or medium low and allow to bubble and thicken.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a plastic bag, shake together flour, salt and pepper and add chicken pieces in batches to coat. Place on a baking sheet (lined with heavy duty foil for easy cleanup) and drizzle olive oil over. Bake for about 15 minutes, and then coat each piece with some of the glaze and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes. You can do a second coat of glaze for the last 5 minutes, or serve any additional glaze on the side.
