Chick-fil-A Nuggets Recipe

• 1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch cubes)
• 1 cup dill pickle juice
• 1 ½ cups milk divided
• 1 cup peanut oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
• salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

Honey Mustard-

• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1. To prepare the honey mustard sauce—in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, honey, mustard, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl combine the cubed chicken, pickle juice and ½ cup of milk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
3. In a large bowl whisk together the remaining 1 cup of milk and egg. Stir in chicken and gentle toss to combine. Drain any excess milk mixture.
4. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl combine the chicken, flour and confectioners’ sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
5. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (or use a deep-fryer).

Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately right honey mustard.
