Just 7 ingredients and a few minutes is all it takes to put together these spicy Baked Buffalo Chicken Nuggets. Skip the drive through and bring the heat at home.
We eat a lot of homemade chicken nuggets in our house. The kids love them. The adults love them. Everyone is happy. In our house, we love a little heat, so I decided to do a fun variation on my standard chicken nugget and do a hot sauce version. We love it! Seriously, even the kids.
These can also be frozen unbaked and popped in the oven on a busy night. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time. Ditch the drive through and give homemade chicken nuggets a try. You might fall in love.
I am a huge fan of Frank’s Buffalo Hot Sauce. It’s seriously the best. And no, they aren’t paying me to say that and I actually don’t have a working relationship with them at all (not for lack of trying). Still, I use their hot sauce in so many of my recipes because it really is the best.
Watch the video below where we will walk you through every step of the recipe with a video demonstration.
I want to make these in strips vs nuggets. What cooking time would you suggest?
Start checking on them at 20 minutes.
I am making these tonight, can’t wait!! Need side dish ideas =)
Nope!
I was surprised to see butter instead of egg. Could I substitute for egg whites and then dip into the bread crumbs, do you think? If not, any ideas on a healthy substitute? Looking forward to trying these nuggets!
You could. As I explain in the video, butter provides added moisture for the very lean chicken breasts.
I just made these tonight , and they were fantastic… used one very large chicken breast and italian flavored bread crumbs …. had enough for tonight and tomorrow, but up some celery and dip… yum.I am from Buffalo NY so i do appreciate good Buffalo Chicken….
Nice I am from Upstate NY, closer to Syracuse NY =)
I’m From Corning NY, and love Wings!! I will be making these.
What you happen to know the nutritional information for these. They look delicious and would love to make (on Weight Watchers) and need to know how many points they would be.
Nope! But there are tons of nutritional calculators out there that you can run it through.

It’s a cayenne pepper hot sauce so look for something like that.
Hey Lesley-Ann we don’t have the kind of hot sauce that they sell in the USA so we have to make our own
Try 1/2 cup of tomato sauce (ketchup)
1/2 cup melted butter
And Tabasco sauce as much or as little as you like
Do you think panko would work instead of original bread crumbs?
Yes.
Do you flip them half way thru?
No, I don’t, but there’s no harm in doing so.
My son likes honey bbq. Could you do this with bbq sauce instead of the hot sauce?
There’s only one way to find out! 😉
That’s what I’m wondering! I got an Air Fryer on Black Friday, but not many recipes came with it, and I’m feeling intimidated :-O
