Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 cups Peanut oil
- 12 pieces Mini yeast rolls
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into approximately 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add the chicken pieces to this mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
While the chicken is marinating, in another bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat the peanut oil in a large heavy pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Remove chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drain off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Fry the coated chicken pieces in small batches in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack or paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Place the mini yeast rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, just until warm.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey until combined to create a honey butter glaze.
Brush the warm yeast rolls with the honey butter glaze.
Slice open each roll, place a cooked chicken nugget inside, and close the roll.
Serve immediately while warm with extra honey butter on the side if desired.
