Title: Copycat Chick Fil A Nuggets Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup dill pickle juice
– 1 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches each. Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour the pickle juice over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (or up to 24 hours) to allow the chicken to marinate and tenderize.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and drain off the pickle juice. Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
3. In another shallow dish, combine the flour, powdered sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the coated chicken nuggets into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the nuggets in batches for about 6-8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through cooking.
5. Once cooked, transfer the crispy nuggets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve your homemade Chick Fil A nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard or barbecue sauce. Enjoy the crunchy exterior and juicy, flavorful chicken inside!
