Instructions

1. Put the chicken in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in the seasonings from the first list until fully combined.
2. Shape the mixture into nuggets about 2 inches wide and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the honey, garlic and soy sauce, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes until bubbly and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Heat oil in a deep pot to a depth of 2 to 3 inches until it reaches 350°F / 175°C.
5. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder for the dry mix in one bowl. Whisk the egg, water, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, bouillon, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt for the wet batter in another bowl.
6. Toss a few nuggets in the dry mix, then dip them in the wet batter, using a fork.
7. Fry about 4 nuggets at a time for 4 to 5 minutes per batch, until golden, crispy and the chicken reaches 165°F. Drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined sheet.
8. Toss the hot nuggets with half the honey-garlic sauce in a large bowl. Serve with the rest of the sauce on the side.
