To ensure the chicken nuggets are crispy, make sure the oil is heated to the correct temperature before adding the chicken. The ideal temperature is 350°F (175°C).
To achieve a golden-brown color on the chicken nuggets, fry them in small batches so they don't overcrowd the pan and cook evenly.
For the green onion honey dip, use fresh green onions for the best flavor. Chop them finely to release their aroma and taste.
If you don't have honey on hand, you can substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar in the green onion honey dip.
To make the chicken nuggets more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
