Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chicken breast or turkey
- 1/2 small onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons steak seasoning
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, plus more as needed for coating, divided
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock

Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 400ºF.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, steak seasoning and blue cheese.
- Work the mixture together then portion it out balls about the size of a golf ball.
- Set up three dishes on the countertop: One with 1 cup flour, one with the beaten eggs and one with the corn flakes.
- Coat the balls first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the corn flakes.
- Arrange the balls on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- While the nuggets are baking, place a small saucepot over medium heat with the butter.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the butter and cook for about 1 minute. Whisk the stock and hot sauce into the pan, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the oven-baked chicken nuggets with the buffalo dipper alongside.
