Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets

Does it say something about me that

A) all my recent posts are Pinterest finds?, and

B) all my recent posts are restaurant copycats?

Probably.

And I don't care one bit... cuz they're all

AWESOME!

My absolute FAVE chicken nuggets are Chick-Fil-A.

And this recipe totally did it!

Even the brown husband, who prefers chicken on the bone,

loved these!

Plus- they kept well in the fridge (I made alot and then

saved it and we munched them over a few days!)

INGREDIENTS:

-

2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts (or more!)

-
1 cup milk

-
1 egg
-

1 1/4 cups flour
-

2 TBSP powdered sugar
-

2 tsp salt
-

1 tsp pepper
-

peanut oil (is best) or canola oil
---

DIRECTIONS:

-
In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk.

-

Trim any fat away from chicken. Cube chicken into bite size pieces.

-

Place chicken in milk mixture,and cover.

Let it 'marinate' for 2-4 hours in the fridge.

**This will make the chicken very nice and tender.**

-

  In a gallon size resealable baggie combine flour,

powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Seal and shake to combine.

-

Place about 2 inches of oil in a medium deep pot or frying pan.

Over medium high heat (more towards the high side) heat oil until hot.

If using a thermometer let the temperature reach 375°.

If you don't have a fancy thermometer, test oil by

dropping a few drops of water into it. You want it to sizzle

and not pop too much. Adjust your heat if necessary.

-

Using a fork or tongs remove cut chicken from milk mixture

 and place in the flour mixture. Seal and shake until nuggets

are completely coated. Place about a 6-8 nuggets (you just don't

want them on top of each other...) into hot oil and let

 them cook until golden brown, turning half way through once

the edge of your chicken starts to turn white.

About 1 minute each side. Always double check to see if any

 chicken you make is cooked through. I always just make a

tiny cut to see if it's pink.

-

Remove and drain on a paper towel.

-

Repeat until all nuggets are cooked. 

Serve with your favorite sauce!

yum.
