Sticky Barbecue Poppers
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb chicken cutlets, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- dash black pepper
- 1 cup panko or home-style crumbs
- 4 tbsp oil, divided
- oil spray
Sticky BBQ Sauce
- ½ cup barbecue sauce (we used Sweet Baby Ray's)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- ½ tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- dash black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- In a bowl, combine eggs, lemon juice, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Place the cubed chicken into eggs mixture, then mix to coat. Let sit 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 2 tablespoons oil on each pan and spread around.
- Coat each chicken piece in the crumbs. Lay on prepared sheet pan, making sure there is space around each one. Spray tops of chicken with cooking spray (alternatively you can flip pieces around in the oil so both sides are coated in a thin layer of oil).
- Bake for 15 minutes, until golden at the edges and ready.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine Sticky BBQ Sauce ingredients. When chicken is ready, toss with sauce immediately or use as a dipping sauce.
