BBQ-Glazed Chicken Nuggets

This chicken dish is SOO easy, fun to make, and tasty!  The BBQ glaze is very rich and sweet - a perfect topper for the crispy, juicy chicken nuggets.  I'd serve this with a light, fruity salad on the side.  :) 

Start to finish:  30 min

Serves:  14-20 nuggets, depending on size

Ingredients

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

2 tsp chili powder

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup molasses

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp pepper

2 (8 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup olive oil

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Cut chicken breasts into large nugget-sized pieces.  Set aside.

2.  Prepare BBQ Glaze by whisking the following ingredients together in a small saucepan:  apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, & chili powder.  Bring to a boil.  

3.  Add Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, & honey.  Lower heat to medium or medium-low.  Allow sauce to bubble and thicken.

4.  In a zip-lock bag, shake together the flour, garlic powder, salt, & pepper.  Add chicken in batches to coat.  Place coated chicken nuggets on baking sheet lined with foil.  Drizzle chicken with olive oil.  

5.  Bake for about 10 minutes, then coat each piece with some of the glaze and continue baking 5 to 10 more minutes.  

6.  Toss chicken with remaining glaze or serve additional glaze on the side.
