Chik Fil A Nuggets


So I had some Chik Fil A nuggets not to long ago at a party for a friend before he had to ship out to Afghanistan again.  I forgot how good they are so I tried to make my own.

I won't say they were as good as Chik Fil A Nuggets, but they are pretty damn good.  It is also important to note, that the first few batches may have burned and smoked up the apartment pretty good.  However, after I got to use to how they cook they turned out pretty good.

The ingredients I used are pretty simple as well.

Ingredients:
2 Chicken Breasts cut up
1 1/4 cups Milk
2 Tablespoons of Powdered sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
1 egg

Whisk the egg in a bowl and then whisk in the milk.  Add the cut up the chicken to the milk/egg mixture and put in the refrigerator for  2-4 hours.  I did it for about two hours.

Meanwhile mix the dry ingredients in a bowl or a ziplock bag and put to the side.  After the chicken marinates for 2-4 hours pull them out and place them into the dry flour mixture.  Heat up some oil in a heavy medium size pot over med-high heat.  I don't measure how hot the oil gets, I just throw some water from my finger tips onto it.  If it starts to bubble and pop, the oil is ready.  You can also just look at the oil and you will see some "ribbons".  Anyway, pop the chicken bits in and flip if you have to in order to cook all sides.  I cut them up small so they were done in about 1 min. 

To make some honey mustard:
1 1/4 cup mayo
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon of honey

Mix em together and dip some nugs in there!
