Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 1/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into large chunks
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine sriracha, rice vinegar and ginger. Stir in chicken pieces and coat completely. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
  • In one bowl beat an egg. In another bowl combine panko, kosher salt and garlic powder.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, dip into egg and then dredge into bread crumbs. Place breaded chicken on prepared cooling rack. Repeat process until all chicken is coated.
  • Once all chicken is breaded, drizzle the olive oil over the top and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 3 minutes, the bread crumbs will brown slightly.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly. Serve.

Notes

I have to confess that I dipped these in ranch, because well, I love chicken nuggets with ranch but an equally good dip would be sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy!
