Directions For Buffalo Chicken Nuggets

Rinse chicken off in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Then cut up chicken into 1-1 1/2 inch cubes.
Season the chicken cubes with the above seasonings by lightly shaking over the chicken and mixing with your hands.

Then pour on the pepperoncini, pickle juice, or buttermilk and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
In another bowl, prepare the flour mixture. Add the flour, with 1 Tablespoon each of pepper, garlic powder, garlic salt and Adobo seasoning. Then mix well with a fork.

Mix together 1/4 cup of milk with the eggs and mix together with a whisk or fork. Then pour this mixture into the marinated chicken.

Then pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take several of the chicken nuggets and coat them in the flour.
Heat the frying pan filled with oil to medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry several of the chicken nuggets for 3-4 minutes on each side. But be sure not to over crowd the pan. So cook until lightly brown and then drain on paper towels.

Once all of the buffalo chicken nuggets are fried, transfer to a foil lined baking sheet. Then cover with the buffalo sauce and bake for 6 minutes. You can leave a couple without sauce for a delicious chicken nugget.
