olive oil spray (I used my Misto)

tbsp Frank's Hot Sauce (or Tabasco

Place the hot sauce in another medium bowl with the oil.

Dip the chicken into the hot sauce mix, then into the crumbs and place on the baking sheet.

These Nashville Hot Chicken Bites are spicy, flavorful, and so easy to make!

Nashville Hot Chicken Bites

cayenne pepper

brown sugar

all purpose flour

chili powder

salt

canola oil

lb raw boneless, skinless chicken breast

In a small dish, stir together the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, flour, paprika, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder. Place the cut up chicken pieces into a gallon zip-seal plastic bag and add the spice mix. Seal the bag and shake/massage the contents until the chicken pieces are coated with the spices.

Add the oil to a large sauté pan/walled skillet and bring over med-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces (you don’t want to overcrowd the pan, so depending on the size of your skillet you may want to work in two batches instead of one) and stir to break them up and coat them in the oil. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes, stirring every couple minutes (you don’t want to stir super frequently because the chicken needs time to brown and get a “crust” on each side). Once the chicken is cooked through and browned on the outside, remove from heat and serve.

Spicy Chicken Nuggets

chicken breasts1 oil

For the Blue Cheese lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with tine foil and top with a cooling or baking rack. Spray the rack with cooking spray so the chicken won&#8217;t stick to it.

In a bowl combine the bread crumbs, garlic &amp; onion powders, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt &amp; pepper. Stir to combine. In another bowl pour the flour, and lastly in another bowl whisk the egg with about 2 tablespoons of water to create your egg wash.

If your chicken breasts are thick, butterfly them by taking your knife and slicing through the chicken width-wise so you have two halves of chicken then you can open like a book. If your chicken is not overly thick, there&#8217;s no need to butterfly them thinner. Next, cut the chicken into nuggets and strips. They do not need to be the same shape, I actually like making my various shapes/lengths.

To bread the chicken nuggets, coat each chicken piece in the flour, then the egg wash, then lastly the spicy bread crumbs. Place on top of the rack on your baking sheet and drizzle each piece with olive oil. Bake for 15-17 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink. For my oven, 15 minutes was good. Remove from the oven and if you like extra spicy give each chicken nugget a sprinkle of a little more cayenne.

While the chicken is baking, make the blue cheese dipping sauce. In a medium pot over medium heat, add the half &amp; half and heat until you see a little steam coming off the cream. It doesn&#8217;t need to be bubbling, you just want it hot enough to melt the cheese. Whisk in the flour, then add the blue cheese and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a serving bowl and let cool.
