1
Heat the oven to 425°F and set a wire rack over a baking sheet. The rack lets hot air reach the bottoms instead of leaving them soft.
2
Stir the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and oil in a shallow bowl. The crumbs should look like damp sand. In another bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, salt, and water until it looks like thin cream.
3
Cut the chicken into ¾- to 1-inch pieces. Dip each piece in the yogurt, roll it in the crumbs, and set it on the rack with a little space around it.
4
Bake for 23–25 minutes, until the edges are browned and the centers reach 165°F. Let the nuggets rest for 3 minutes before serving with a dip.
