What came to my mind instantly was the mix of corn starch/flour/potato dumpling powder you used for your crispy onion rings. I have this mix ready-to-go ever since. And a dipping sauce I just made consists of hot mustard, some soy sauce and ketchup. My mom (90) cannot handle pepper anymore. So I have to "work around that". Despite the hot mustard (Löwensenf): it worked out amazing! No cooking. Easily adjustable. Goes with heaps of things. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
I'm going to add a dollop of Dijon to the nugget blend for emulsification. And a touch more oil will make it ideal for an air fryer (and use/consume less than a shallow fry.) I've learned so much watching you over many years Chef. Thank you
Just made this, it was fantastic and came together pretty quick. Instead of leaving in the fridge for a couple hours, I just tossed the whole thing in the freezer in between stages for a few minutes. And it seemed to work perfectly
You should definitely get her some heavenly Korean fried chicken then! Chef John has a recipe for that as well. I haven't tried that recipe, but given Chef John's track record, it will likely taste close to the original.
At first I thought you said "sulphurizing flour" and I was momentarily baffled (but curious). Turns out it was nothing that eccentric. ; ) Thank you, Chef John.
... and there was no 3-point line. If there had been, Maravich would have *averaged* over 57 points per game!! As if that weren't enough, his ball-handling skills were probably greater than his scoring ability. He invented most of the great moves and passes that we see today. Amazing talent.
I just made this. Next time... I'm gonna leave the nuggets to Mr. Tyson or Mr. Perdue, and just make the sauce. But cut the mayo in half/double up on the other ingredients. The sauce is a winner but it needs to be stronger overall IMO. My nuggets were nothing special (altho they came out great) and I kinda prefer whole meat to fritters.
I always enjoy Chef John's recipes, but this one really got me enthused! Incidentally, the computer-generated closed captions said that we should use 'Sulfurizing flour'. I think that might taste funny.
I do not own an air fryer, but my guess would be that you'd need to spritz them with cooking spray to mimick the oil, I'm not certain the starch would brown nicely by itself. Only one way to know... try it! (and keep us posted!)
Trader Vic’s had a chicken nuggets recipe with what they called Chinese style sauerkraut they rinsed the sauerkraut and seasoned it t was good actually I think this needs some kind of side
Hey Chef John have you tries Underwood Ranches' Sriracha? It's great, tastes like Huy Fong used to and you get to support the farmer that they screwed over.
Even though that farmer you speak of broke his contract FIRST by making his competing sauce behind David Tran's back? Ooops, the truth fell out. Huy Fong IS and will ALWAYS be the first in this nation and the best.
@@IzzyTheEditor That is not what happened Izzy (lol nice name bro). ruclips.net/video/EYdU1X2p2ro/видео.htmlsi=4ERqM6Gga5fsoPes. Flavor is 100x better than your corpo overlord.
Chef John, I’ve become vegetarian since I started watching your channel years ago. But I still watch because your flavors are so good! I can usually adapt to meat-free. Thank you!!! 🙅🏻♀️🍗

I don't even need to finish the video to know I'm going to make this recipe.
Yes, same here..
Yes, I have prepared some of his recipes and they all turned out well.
Same.
My approach with Chef John's videos-get pen and paper, hit like, start video, take notes.
Took me about half a second to figure that out.
A Happy New Year to our Chef John!
What a great way to begin a new year by watching Chef John here!
Chef John's pronunciation of "sriracha" always gets me
A Pistol Pete reference! He was my dad's favorite basketball player. After all he was the Stephen Curry of my dad's chicken slurry!
Nah, Maravich was better than Curry. Nice rhyme, though. 👍
@@BobG127 Well nobody was better than Maravich.
@@misisipimike8020 Agreed.

Interesting, I wonder how many more fans Chef John has in Schleswig-Holstein. :D
@@XCM666 I'm originally from Niedersachsen, but now I live more southernly in Canada.
"Damp hands make smooth balls..." Love this guy
“Fork don’t lie”
bodacious nuggets is a good one too.
I believe if you look at his merch, you can get a tee with that on it.
And "Bodacious."
My daughter walked through the room while I was saying that along with Chef John and gave me the WEIRDEST look, LOL

I'ma nix the mayo tho yo 😅

you are a major reason i'm a great cook!
2:22 You are, after all, the Lucille Ball… of whether to make your nuggets big or small!
After all you are the Cactus Jack of your Chicken snack
I can't help hearing Nancy Sinatra singing in background as i make these

Looks delicious. Long time viewer here. This might be my next dish I make for the new year. Thanks Chef 😉
Love the recipe and the humor 😊
My gf is pregnant and get stand chicken anymore unless it is breaded so you are my new year miracle once again chef john
She had damp hands in the near past, huh.
Suggest trying his chicken Parm recipe as well it's good I make it usually once or twice a month for my family
You should definitely get her some heavenly Korean fried chicken then! Chef John has a recipe for that as well. I haven't tried that recipe, but given Chef John's track record, it will likely taste close to the original.
I love you Chef John
this one looks like a winner... SAVED. Does anyone else have a saved list just for CJ and foodwishes? Admit it... this is a safe comment section.
Love the use of doubling up on the cutting boards
Don't know if I have the patience or space to make those nuggets, but that sauce is definitely going to show up in a few dishes for me. Thanks Chef!
Happy New Year Chef
Thanks again John! PS: David Tran says it's pronounced: See-Rah-Chah ...took me years to learn, lol
Im definitely going to use some good Costco chicken chunk nuggets for this. Awesome stuff john!
Looks delicous! And the meatball version might be a bit healthier for a weeknight dinner idea but still great
At first I thought you said "sulphurizing flour" and I was momentarily baffled (but curious). Turns out it was nothing that eccentric. ; ) Thank you, Chef John.
🔥w/jasmine white rice also!
Do we have to grind the chicken? Will it work with coating the pieces with the seasoning?
Maravich reference! 🏀🧙♂
Looks good, except for using Vegetable Oil. I will make it, but I'll deep fry in Tallow or Avocado Oil.
Sauce on the side, keep them crispy.
Someone gets it 🙏
Thanks for the content. Nice to see your Creator as well. He seems like a nice dude.
LOL he’s got the pro restaurant portion control scooper that’s funny
Criminal Minds had an episode where this guy went around scooping people’s eyes out with one
Clearly you are our bodacious nugget, Chef.
I think this would go very well with my Chitty Chitty Chicken Nuggets recipe!
Thanks for the nod to Mr. Maravich, in my estimation one of the finest players to play the game..
Starting 2025 strong, Chef John. Need to make this.
In a Pizza Shop, we tossed the wings in a bucket with a lid, to ensure an even coating.
I dont feel like I'm on the food network when I do that though
Yum & Happy New Year Chef John. All your recipes are fantastic. I'll be making this one soon as well as your perogies.
My brother and I had the pistol Pete instructional VHS videos growing up . Good times
Pleasantly surprised that the lunatics that think "seed oils" are poison haven't made it to the chef john videos.
Oooh! This looks tasty!
Looks good going to try this weekend
Excellent recipe.
Can you make these in an air fryer?
omg that looks amazing.
Pistol Pete averaged an incredible 44.2 points per game throughout his college career.

I did your mashed potatoes for Christmas, and my mother thought your voice was AI.😂
Oooooh yummy 🤤🤤
I’m stunned he didn’t season the flour mixture as well 🤯🤯🤯
2:12 i like saucy and salacious nuggets personally.
I need some little Dino nuggy molds to make these into.
"self rising flour" was close captioned as "sulfurizing flour" 🤣🤣🤣
It sounded like he said sulfurizing flour.
@timothyanstine8272 100% true 🤣🤣🤣 I just hoping noones out there lookin for that ingredient
I would double fry to make extra crispy!
How much Sriracha?
Chef John-
“Yes”
Trader Vic’s had a chicken nuggets recipe with what they called Chinese style sauerkraut they rinsed the sauerkraut and seasoned it t was good actually I think this needs some kind of side
OMG guess what's for dinner tomorrow!!!!
I dont have a food processer so ill have to do boneless wings
do a little choppa choppa with a knife
_LOVE_ that "toss and stir" technique at the end. This man is a legend.
Happy 2025, Chef John! 🎉
It’s called boomboom because of what the spices make you do later.
Hey Chef John have you tries Underwood Ranches' Sriracha? It's great, tastes like Huy Fong used to and you get to support the farmer that they screwed over.

Will potato starch work?
Did you say 'bodacious nuggets'? I think you did....(insert laugh like beavis and butthead).
It might be closer to fire-breathing dragon chicken!
I need to get a box of chicken nuggies now
Chef John, I’ve become vegetarian since I started watching your channel years ago. But I still watch because your flavors are so good! I can usually adapt to meat-free. Thank you!!! 🙅🏻♀️🍗
Looks yummy, Chef! Happy New Year! ❤
Love these vids
great idea using tongs to immobilise chicken when cutting. Will copy.
I don't have a food processor, and at my age I really don't want to get one just for this recipe. Any alternatives?
Just keep chopping!
Yes, tomorrow night for dinner
I don't have any Sriratza hot sauce, can I use Sriracha instead???
THANK YOU CHEF!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖
Great recipe and technique, as usual, Chef! I’m making this 4B nugget treat for Super Bowl this year for sure. Thank you. 👩🍳
They look like brains
Yummy ❤️❤️❤️
So... can you..ah... BAKE... these?
Asking for a friend.
I would substitute the sriracha with that peri peri sauce.
hello yummy yummy
This used to be called spicy chicken balls.
Would this work in an Air Fryer?
It should, just spritz the nuggets with oil first.
You definitely need to get rid of that beat up cutting board. Unless you like eating plastic!
Sweet and salty chicken. Don't need to hear anything else to convince me to cook it
Sweet & hot is the best sauce on any appetizer like this, my fave is mango & McIIhenneys tobasco sauce
...been awhile
..super exite
You mean Brain Brain chicken nuggets. These look like eating possum brains.
Should of put some sesame seeds on the finished dish
I can incorporate this processing dark and white technique into many different things, thank you Chef John.
Definitely will try this .
Dank nugs brah.
Danke
I'm gonna look for dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters or moulds
I'm assuming that replacing sriracha with gochujang would also work?
you'd have to dilute it as a bit too thick...
this is chef john, replace anything with anything, that's just you cooking !
Bam Bam Chicken Nuggys
Chef john , if you only have 23 & are serving to guests , just tell them you had to taste test the 24th which is why it is 1 short, lol
Thank you chef, may I please have another?!
