Honey Sriracha Chicken Nuggets

Hi everyone! I’m Tara from Noshing with the Nolands. I am so thrilled to be here!! This is my first post at Real Housemoms and I wanted to start off with a bang. These little Honey Sriracha Chicken Nuggets will have the whole family wanting more. A great game day snack or anytime appetizer. The sweet honey beats the heat of the sriracha and all the other ingredients tie this together perfectly.

With the sauce drizzled on, the chicken stays crispy and delicious or serve some sauce on the side for easy dipping!! I love little chicken nuggets, doesn’t seem as naughty as a big piece of fried chicken, right??

Dad would be thrilled to have a plate of these chicken nuggets to share on game day. They are easy to make and will be loved for their crispy exterior and tender chicken breast interior. The sauce is an extra bonus and is finger licking good!! You may want to make extra as these will be grabbed up quickly.
