I wanted something new other then chicken Nuggets something spicy that my guest would clamor for at this gathering as well future gatherings. The tangy buttermilk and sweet almonds breading has just enough cayenne to give it a good bite and is offset by the honey BBQ sauce and Greek style yogurt. Read more . See less

This does sound very flavorful! Trigger, you are very good with choosing great flavor combos. You must be like a scientist in the kitchen!

You couldn't think of a few more words to add to the title!?!?

Michael...this is superb!!! I love the double dip to bread the nuggets, the breading flavor combinations are just yummy, and a wonderful sauce to top everything off! High-five for the flavor artistry, and another high-five for presentation. Flagged as beautiful. A must on my Lenten fish-fry schedule that will blow those ordinary catfish filets out of the water!;0)

This is a stellar recipe!! Once again, our taste buds prove to be on the same page. We were both thinking fish today. I may just try this tonight. I have some Bluegill fillets that would be a perfect substitute for the Tilapia.

Great presentation and a High Five from me....;-)

Michael my friend - wow! - I love fish - love it - and your cajun rub with that sweet-savory almond meal bread crumb breading is the ticket. Plus, I love that you're using buttermilk for your dip - and the initial flour dredge assures the breading will stick to the fish. I always do that method and it works perfectly....for so many fried foods. The Habanero BBQ sauce and Greek Yogurt serving suggestions makes it even better. Great recipe - great pics! High 5 and flags for beauty and uniqueness. Count me in. :)
