Buffalo Chicken Nuggets (Edit recipe)

Making the perfect chicken nugget that is grain-free can be difficult. However, after experimenting with different cooking temps and methods, I have finally found the perfect recipe! One trick is to pat the chicken dry before coating it. Another tip is to cook it on foil with your choice of cooking spray to keep the nuggets from sticking to the pan.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Pat your chicken cubes dry with a paper towel and them set aside. Cover a sheet pan with foil and grease it with cooking spray (I like avocado spray best).
Mix 2 tbsp buffalo sauce and one whisked egg together in one bowl. In another bowl mix almond flour, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper together.
One nugget at a time- dip in egg mixture, then right into the almond flour mixture. Be sure the chicken nugget is completely covered in almond flour and place on your sheet pan. Repeat until all of the nuggets are coated.
Put the nuggets in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve with some extra buffalo sauce and ranch. Enjoy!

Notes

If you use The New Primal Buffalo Sauce like I did- you can choose from mild to hot so it pleases everyone. // You can make these in the air fryer or the oven. For a big batch, I prefer the oven! // If your kids don’t like spice, just dip theirs in a plain egg.
