Ingredients

2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts or tenderloins (about 1 pound cut into 1 inch chunks)
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup dill pickle juice (optional but highly recommended)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar)
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
peanut oil (is best or canola oil (about 1-2 cups depending on pan size))
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
3 Tablespoons Honey
1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinger
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine chicken, 1/2 cup milk and pickle juice. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 20-60 minutes or overnight, the longer the better. Remove from fridge and and an egg to the mixture.
Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Now for this step you can either use a ziplock bag or simply dip the chicken into the flour mixture (in a bowl) and then place in oil. In a gallon sized ziplock bag, mix the flour, powdered sugar, and spices until well combined. Add the chicken pieces (without liquid) and shake well until fully coated.
Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack or plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately with honey mustard.
Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, honey and lemon juice in a small bowl; set aside in the fridge for later.

COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A NUGGETS WITH HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Nuggets With Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce image

This is really good! The recipe comes from www.chocolatemoosey.com. When I made them, I baked the nuggets instead of deep-frying and then poured the sauce over them and served on a bed of romaine lettuce. Next time, I want to try baking the nuggets in the sauce, I think they'd be moister that way (because I don't want to deep-fry). I guessed at the prep and cook time, as I was not paying attention to the clock. If you bake them, it will certainly need to cook longer - about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
oil (for frying, vegetable, canola, or peanut, not olive)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

For the chicken:.
Fill a deep fryer or large stockpot with enough oil to submerge the chicken. Heat to 375°F.
While the oil is heating, place the chicken pieces in a freezer bag. Add flour, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; seal and shake well.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken pieces and shake off any excess flour. Place on a plate or in a bowl.
When the oil is ready, place a handful of nuggets into the oil (do not overcrowd your pan! My deep fryer came with a basket and fit roughly 6-8 pieces). Fry for 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. You may need to let your oil heat back up to 375F in between batches if it gets too cold (use a thermometer). Place the cooked pieces on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the oil.
When the chicken is done, serve with the dipping sauce.
For the sauce:.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well-blended. Refrigerate while preparing the chicken.
