Ingredients
For the Nuggets:
- 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)
For the Dipping Sauce
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinger
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
To make the nuggets:
- 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.
To make the honey mustard
- Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, honey and lemon juice in a small bowl; set aside in the fridge for later.
