Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1.5-inch pieces (you can also use chicken tenderloins)
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons BBQ seasoning I like Jack Daniels Pork Rub
  • 1 (13 oz) bag regular BBQ chips (you can use kettle but I prefer regular bbq chips)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. (You can use foil but make sure to spray with non-stick spray)
  • In a blender or food processor, add the chips and pulse until pulverized. You want the chips to be the same size as panko bread crumbs!
  • In a medium bowl, add the chicken pieces, BBQ sauce, and BBQ seasoning. Stir to evenly coat.
  • In a shallow bowl, add the crushed BBQ chips.
  • Take each chicken piece and roll in the crumbs, pressing gently so the crumbs stick. (If you run out of crumbs, just bake the chicken coated in BBQ sauce. Still will be really good!)
  • Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. It may take more or less time depending on your chicken nugget size.
