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
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into approximately 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, in another bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Heat the peanut oil in a large heavy pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Remove chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drain off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 8
Place the mini yeast rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, just until warm.
Step 9
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the honey until combined to create a honey butter glaze.
Step 10
Brush the warm yeast rolls with the honey butter glaze.
Step 11
Slice open each roll, place a cooked chicken nugget inside, and close the roll.
Step 12
Serve immediately while warm with extra honey butter on the side if desired.
