CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN (AND NUGGETS) COPYCAT
After looking on the internet for days for a Chick-Fil-A copycat and finding only plain old fried chicken recipes, I decided to try and imitate it myself. It came out pretty darn close I think! There are two crucial ingredients chick-fil-a uses that most recipes dont have- pickle juice and sugar. They also use MSG- but its also ok without it if you dont like it. Just cut up the breasts into chunks and follow recipe for nuggets. (Edit: I also have to say I love Chick- Fil-A and that I think they're a great company. I encourage anyone to visit if they can, the staff is always so nice and polite at every location I've been to! Its just too bad they don't have more locations!)

Steps:
- Pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (I find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so I pound out the thick part a little) Cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
- Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
- Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
- Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
- Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
- Fry the chicken however you prefer here. I pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. Chick-Fil-A deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the chuck, allspice, cinnamon, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and use your hands to mix it well.
- Pour the oil into the bottom of a heavy, 6-quart ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven and place half the onions in the bottom. Place half of the meat over the onions, pressing it down very firmly with your hands. Scatter half the potatoes, prunes and eggplant over the top of the meat. Add the remaining onions to the pot and press the remaining meat over the top of the onions. Scatter the remaining potatoes, prunes and eggplant over the meat.
- In a large bowl, combine the tomato paste, 2 1/2 cups of water, sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and mix until smooth. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables.
- Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat so that the mixture cooks at a strong simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick and the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 2 hours. (The dish is often better if prepared a day in advance, refrigerated and reheated in a 350-degree oven before serving.) Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper and serve with Syrian rice.

- Place the pork chops in a baking dish, then layer the potatoes evenly over the pork, and spread the onions around them.

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

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.

Steps:
- Chill everything except the sugar for at least an hour before making the salad. Drain the pineapple in a colander; press down on it, squeezing all the juice out.

Stir in 1/2 cup mayo (can add more later if needed). Refrigerate until needed. Grate/shred the carrots into a large bowl; stir in the raisins. Stir in the pineapple dressing, blending well.
