Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken breast
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ cup peanut oil
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts to 1 inch pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs and milk. Add in the chicken pieces. Place the bowl in the fridge to sit for about 15 minutes while preparing the bread crumbs.
- In a large plastic bag that can be sealed, add the breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, salt, pepper, and powdered sugar. Stir with a fork to combine.
- Add the chicken nuggets and shake the bag to coat the nuggets in the breading.
- Pour the oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken nuggets one by one, and work in batches so the pan isn't too crowded.
- Line a plate or pan with paper towels and once the chicken nuggets have been fried for about 1-2 minutes on each side and are golden brown, remove from the oil and place on the paper towels to dry and cool.
- Continue until all of the chicken has been fried.
- Serve with Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sauce.
Notes
