Seasoned chicken nuggets tossed with sweet,  sticky and garlicky sauce.

Oh My God, I love honey garlic sauce! Sticky, gooey goodness. It’s all the things you’d want in a sauce. This Honey Garlic Sauce is the BEST! Don’t just save it for these chicken nuggets, you have to try it on pork, shrimp, veggies… it’s endless!

Honey Garlic Chicken_1 I also love chicken nuggets, so this combination with Honey Garlic Sauce is a match made in heaven! Chicken is so versatile, we never run out of ways to prepare and devour it. These chicken nuggets are a little different. They are not breaded! Instead, I have coated them in a spicy seasoning mix before frying in a little bit of canola oil. Healthy and even more flavourful! I’ve tossed the cooked chicken nuggets in the Honey Garlic Sauce to fully coat, then enjoy, served over rice.

Having said that, another option would be to serve the Honey Garlic Sauce on the side along with fresh matchsticks of carrot or celery for delicious dipping. So yummy!!

    The recipe does not tell you how much chicken to buy or if it needs pounding in advance. It says chicken nuggets but no mention of chicken in ingredients list.

      Hi Susan it was at the bottom of the ingredient list. I have taken it to the top to make it more clear.
