Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup crushed BBQ potato chips

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup barbecue sauce (for dipping)

Cooking spray or oil for frying

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you prefer baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

In another bowl, beat the two eggs.

In a third shallow bowl, add the crushed BBQ potato chips.

Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the crushed BBQ chips, pressing gently to adhere.

If baking, place the coated nuggets on the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway. If frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the nuggets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Serve the chicken nuggets hot with your favorite barbecue sauce for dipping.
