Ingredients

Ingredients:

1/3 cup sriracha
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 1/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into large chunks
1 egg
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

In a bowl combine sriracha, rice vinegar and ginger. Stir in chicken pieces and coat completely. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and spray lightly with non-stick spray.
In one bowl beat an egg. In another bowl combine panko, kosher salt and garlic powder.
Remove chicken from marinade, dip into egg and then dredge into bread crumbs. Place breaded chicken on prepared cooling rack. Repeat process until all chicken is coated.
Once all chicken is breaded, drizzle the olive oil over the top and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 3 minutes, the bread crumbs will brown slightly.
Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly. Serve.

Notes

I have to confess that I dipped these in ranch, because well, I love chicken nuggets with ranch but an equally good dip would be sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy!
