Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts, Tenderlions and/or Thighs cut into 1-inch nuggets
  • 1 cup Pickle Juice from a jar of Dill Pickles
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 freshly ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • Oil to fry

Instructions

  • Place cut chicken pieces in a sealable bowl or container.
  • Pour pickle juice over top. Stir or shake to coat.
  • Place in refrigerator and marinate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  • In a small bowl, place flour, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir or whisk to combine.
  • In another small bowl, place egg and milk. Whisk to fully combine to make an egg wash.
  • Pour oil into a large pot. Place over high heat and heat to 300°F as measured on a candy thermometer.
  • Three or four at a time, dip chicken pieces in egg wash, turning to coat fully.
  • Remove pieces, allowing excess egg wash to dip off, and move to the flour mixture. Turn and roll to coat fully.
  • Place breaded nuggets in hot oil, a few at a time, do not crowd, and fry for about 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning as needed.
  • Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Keep warm.
  • Repeat until all nuggets are breaded, fried and drained.
  • Serve hot with a selection of dipping sauces.
