In a bowl, place the ground chicken breast with the garlic, mayonnaise, ketchup, cornstarch and spices, and mix well until combined.

Set the mixture aside for about a minute until it becomes uniform and slightly sticky. Using wet or oiled hands, form small, flat balls and place them in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours. After freezing, coat each nugget in order: first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs.

Heat a pan with deep oil and fry the nuggets for about 3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown. Remove to a rack or paper towels.

Making a quick sauce on the side, barbecue mayonnaise style: mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce and honey in a small bowl until smooth.

Serve the nuggets with the sauce and enjoy every bite. Good luck and bon appetit.
