Instructions

Begin by setting your oven temperature to 425°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

In a separate medium bowl, pour in the hot sauce and add the oil, mixing them together until well blended.

Take each piece of chicken and first immerse it in the hot sauce mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.

Generously mist the tops of the chicken nuggets with olive oil spray, then bake them in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. After that time, flip them over and continue baking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are fully cooked.
