Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup crushed BBQ potato chips

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)

1 cup BBQ sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Breading Station: In one shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the crushed BBQ chips and breadcrumbs.

      Coat the Chicken: Take each piece of chicken and dip it first in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the BBQ chip and breadcrumb mixture, pressing it gently to adhere well.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken nuggets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the nuggets are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness.

            Serve: Once baked, remove the nuggets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful homemade BBQ chip chicken nuggets!
