Steps:
- For the nuggets: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Place the panko, garlic powder, Italian herbs and salt in a separate shallow bowl and stir to combine.
- One at a time, dip the chicken chunks in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs. (Keep one hand dry to help adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.) Make sure the chicken chunks are completely coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray each nugget with nonstick spray. Bake until browned and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
- For the barbecue sauce: In a small saucepan, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and paprika. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the nuggets.

BAKED BBQ CHICKEN TENDERS
These chicken tenders have a barbecue base but are elevated with a decidedly Asian influence. I use Savory Spice® Asian Delight BBQ Rub, which is different from Chinese five-spice.

Here are some additional tips and the conclusion for the Baked chicken Nuggets with Easy-homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipe:
Additional Notes- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, it should be done when it is just slightly browned on the outside and white on the inside
- If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them, this will prevent them from charring.
- To make the barbecue, use a tangy and sweet barbecue, this will balance out the flavors of the chicken.
- Serve the Nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese.
- The Nuggets can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
- The Nuggets can also be baked or grilled.
- The barbecue can also be made ahead of time.
