G-Bob’s Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Nuggets:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt and pepper
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¼ cup pickle juice
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/4 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • ½ cup peanut or vegetable oil, divided

For the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, optional
  • 1½ tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp. honey

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk and pickle juice, and pour into a large Ziploc bag or bowl.
  • Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 – 4 hours.
  • Using another large Ziploc bag, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Shake to combine.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and add into the Ziploc bag containing the dry ingredients.
  • Shake to coat the chicken completely.
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, heat half of the oil.
  • Test the oil by dropping in a bit of the flour mixture.
  • If it sizzles, the oil is ready; if it pops, lower the temperature a bit.
  • With thongs, gently place chicken pieces into the oil.
  • Do this in 2 batches, as you don’t want to overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook the chicken for 3 – 4 minutes, or until golden brown on one side.
  • Turn the chicken over and allow to cook for 3 – 4 more minutes.
  • Remove to a paper-towel lined plate.
  • Heat the remaining oil and continue with the other half of the chicken pieces.
  • Stir together the honey mustard dipping sauce ingredients and serve with the hot chicken.
