Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 240 ml buttermilk
• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 30 g cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 large eggs
• 500 ml vegetable oil
• 60 ml honey
• 56 g butter
• 12 pieces mini yeast rolls

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into approximately 1.5-inch pieces to create small nuggets.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the buttermilk with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Prepare the coating by combining the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, the remaining salt, pepper, and seasoning in a shallow bowl.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).

Step 6

Take the marinated chicken pieces and dunk them in the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the flour mixture.

Step 7

Fry the chicken pieces in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan, for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Step 8

While the chicken is frying, prepare the honey butter by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stirring in the honey until well blended.

Step 9

Split the mini yeast rolls and lightly toast them in the oven or on a pan.

Step 10

Once all chicken pieces are cooked and the rolls are toasted, assemble the minis by placing a piece of fried chicken into each roll.

Step 11

Brush the tops of the chicken minis with the honey butter and serve warm.
