Ingredients

Serves 6 

  • 11/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 4 cups corn flakes
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp. milk
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1 tbsp. apple-cider vinegar
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously spray a large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the chicken into 2-inch pieces. Season with the salt, pepper and paprika.

  2. 2

    Finely crush the corn flakes and place in a large shallow dish. Place the eggs and milk in a separate large shallow dish. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then press firmly into the crushed corn flakes, coating both sides. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 5–7 minutes longer.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, combine the barbecue sauce, honey and vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Serve the chicken nuggets with the sauce for dipping.

• What’s the easiest way to finely crush corn flakes? Just place them in a resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to break them into small crumbs.
