Simple Southern-Style Chicken Nuggets Directions:
-
Pat chicken pieces dry and place them in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tsp kosher salt and toss evenly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce. Add chicken, stir to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, remaining salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano. Mix evenly.
-
Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece lightly in the flour mixture.
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
-
Arrange nuggets in a single layer on the rack. Spray tops lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
-
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping once at 10 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
-
Serve immediately.
