Ingredients
  

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

1 cup crushed BBQ-flavored potato chips

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

2 large eggs

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup BBQ sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Coatings: In a shallow dish, combine the crushed BBQ chips, panko breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

      Set Up Breading Station: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In another shallow dish, place the flour.

        Bread the Chicken:

          - Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.

            - Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.

              - Finally, roll the chicken in the BBQ chip mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Place the breaded chicken nuggets on the prepared baking sheet.

                Bake: Once all the chicken pieces are coated and arranged on the baking sheet, bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

                  Serve: Remove the chicken nuggets from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve with BBQ sauce for dipping.
