Instructions
- Mix buttermilk, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and egg in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Let them rest, refrigerated, for 30 minutes.
- Put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Take the marinated pieces out of the bowl and let the excess drip off. Then place in the large bowl and stir to coat in panko breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the coated chicken on a baking tray and put it in the refrigerator to chill for another 15-30 minutes. Chilling will help the breading stick.
Air Frying Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F. Brush the basket with a little oil and put the coated pieces in it. Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer. You might need to cook in batches.
- Brush some oil on the top. Cook for 7-8 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the chicken pieces.
Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the coated pieces on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spray them with vegetable oil and then bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The nuggets are done when they are golden brown on top and crispy.
Make the Bang Bang Sauce
- Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Whisk until everything is well combined.
Serving Suggetions
- To serve as an appetizer, dip the spicy nuggets in the sauce and enjoy.
- Alternatively, you can pour the sauce over the pieces and toss. Then serve them over white rice, cauliflower rice or pasta.
- Use the crisp chicken cubes in tacos, wraps, or sandwiches, drizzled with the sauce.
Notes
- You can also use chicken thighs in this recipe.
- Feel free to vary the amount of honey or hot sauce in the sauce to make it hotter or sweeter, depending on your preference.
