Steps:

• To make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lemon juice.
• Season the chicken with the 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place the egg and cornflakes in separate bowls. Coat each chicken nugget with the egg, letting the excess egg drip back into the bowl. Coat the nuggets with the cornflakes. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat 1/2 inch of canola oil to 375°F in a deep skillet. Fry the nuggets, turning once, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer the nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season immediately with additional salt (if using) and serve accompanied by the honey-lemon dipping sauce.
