Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1-2 dashes hot sauce
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 eggs - whisked
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 large chicken breasts - diced into bite size pieces
  • olive oil or vegetable oil for shallow pan frying

Instructions

  • Grab three bowls and mix the following in each bowl.
  • First bowl, milk, pickle juice and hot sauce.
  • Second bowl, flour, seasoned salt, black pepper and onion powder.
  • Third bowl, eggs and water.
  • Take diced chicken breast and place into milk mixture first.
  • Take out of milk and add to flour mixture.
  • Take out of flour mixture and place into egg mixture.
  • Take out of egg mixture and add back into flour mixture and toss around in bowl until chicken pieces are well coated.
  • Set coated pieces aside until all are coated.
  • In a large skillet, add enough olive oil or vegetable oil as you feel you need to do a shallow fry on the chicken nuggets, I add about 1/2 inch of oil to my pan.
  • Heat to medium- high heat, hot enough to fry but not too hot or the breading will burn before the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add chicken and cook until pieces are cooked through.
  • Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
