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.
