Chick-fil-a Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup milk

• 1 pound chicken breasts cut into 1" chunks

• 3/4 cup flour

• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs

• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

• 3 inches of peanut oil

Instructions

1. In a large ziplock bag or a bowl add the chicken pieces, the milk and the eggs and combine. (I usually just close the bag and squish it together)

2. Put the chicken in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

3. In a large dutch oven fill it 3 inches deep with peanut oil and heat to 365-375 degrees (medium high heat until a piece dropped in immediately bubbles up but doesn’t burn quickly).

4. Put the breadcrumbs, flour, powdered sugar, Kosher salt, white pepper, chili powder in a bowl and whisk together.

5. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and let dry for a few minutes.

6. Fry in batches (avoid crowding them) until golden brown (2-3 minutes) and remove to a colander over a plate. Don’t drain on paper towels, it’ll create steam and soften the nuggets.
