Grilled Chicken Nuggets
With honey bbq ranch. Incredibly tender marinated chicken nuggets served with a smoky, sweet and as-spicy-as-you-want-it honey bbq ranch dip.
Ingredients
For the Nuggets:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into “nugget” sized pieces
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp chicken bouillon
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch cayenne
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Honey BBQ Ranch:
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup bbq sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Big pinch cayenne* optional
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken Nuggets:
- In a medium bowl combine the yogurt, milk, vinegar, sugar, bouillon, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper.
- Whisk well until completely combined and smooth.
- Add in the chicken pieces, mix well, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to several hours.
Make the Honey BBQ Ranch:
- In a small bowl combine the mayo, sour cream, bbq sauce, honey, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne, if using.
- Whisk well until completely mixed.
Cook the chicken nuggets:
- Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing the excess to drop back into the bowl. Dry the pieces slightly on some paper towel.
- Heat a grill (either outdoor or indoor). When it’s nice and hot add in a little slick of oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Lay the pieces on the grill with a little space between each piece.
- Allow to cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook for about another 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the nuggets with the Honey BBQ Ranch for dipping.
Notes
*optional. Leave out if you don’t like heat. I like this dip a little spicy.
