BEST COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A NUGGETS

Step 1

In a large bowl combine the milk and pickle juice. Add the chicken pieces and make sure they are covered. Move the bowl to the fridge to marinate from 1-3 hours.

Step 2

To make the breading for the chicken nuggets use a food processor to finely crush the crackers, breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, pepper, salt and powdered sugar.

Step 3

When you are ready to fry add peanut oil to a deep frying pan, dutch oven or a deep fryer.  You want enough oil to cover the nuggets. Heat the oil to 350-360.

Step 4

You can dredge your nuggets in the breading mixture one by one.  I prefer to place the breading mixture in a ziploc bag, add the nuggets and shake them up until coated.

Step 5

When the oil is hot enough, drop in the nuggets and let them fry 2-3 minutes, until golden brown, turning them over for even cooking. Do this in batches and do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Drain the nuggets of paper towels and repeat with other batches until they are all cooked. Serve with Chick Fil A Sauce and enjoy!

Step 7

In a medium bowl combine all the sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth.
