How To Make Buffalo Chicken Nuggets

Cubed chicken breast pieces are briefly soaked in buttermilk and then double coated in flour. Double coating them gives them an extra crispy coating.

The nuggets are then fried in oil and coated in Buffao Sauce. The Buffalo Sauce is a simple mixture of melted butter, hot sauce, and honey.

Recipe Tips

• For authentic buffalo wing flavor, use Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.
• If you want extra hot nuggets, add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
• Serve with carrot and celery sticks.
• A thermometer is really handy for making sure the oil temperature is right. Too hot and the outside will burn before the insides are cooked through. Too low and they will soak up too much oil.
