Chick-fil-a Chicken (and Nuggets) Copycat
Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins
Preparation Time: 1 hr
Cook Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice (use dill pickles, great way to use up that empty jar!)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon msg (accent, leave it out if you prefer)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- peanut oil
Recipe
- 1 pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (i find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so i pound out the thick part a little) cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
- 2 place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
- 3 mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
- 4 mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
- 5 remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
- 6 fry the chicken however you prefer here. i pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. chick-fil-a deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.
