The Chicken
The Sauce
Preparation
- Step 1
To prepare the chicken, in a medium-size bowl combine the yogurt, mustard, paprika, cayenne, ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Cut the chicken lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick strips. Place the chicken in the bowl and toss to coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, to prepare the dipping sauce stir all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate if making ahead.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Roll the chicken strips in the bread crumbs to coat well. Thread each chicken strip onto 1 skewer.
- Step 4
Spray a baking sheet lightly with the olive oil. Place the skewers on the pan and spray them lightly with the oil. Bake until the bread crumbs are browned and the chicken has cooked through, about 10 minutes per side. Set aside to cool. Refrigerate if making more than 1 hour ahead.
- Step 5
Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat the broiler. Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler until lightly charred and heated through, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot with the dipping sauce.

This is a solid nugget recipe. I used a little less honey in the dipping sauce because I prefer tang to sweet, but it's easily customizable.The cumin in the sauce compliments the paprika and cayenne in the marinade. I used Schar (plain) gf bread crumbs and added s & p, garlic powder and parsley flakes. Finishing off both sides in the broiler (no grill) gave the coating an extra crunch. I went straight from step four to broiler to finish both sides. I will definitely make this again.
Delicious! Two tips: 1. Marinate for two hours 2. Skewer, then bread. Way easier and leads messy
