Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Low sodium dill pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a ziplock bag.
Add the low sodium dill pickle juice and buttermilk to the bag, seal it, and mix well.
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
In a small bowl, beat the egg.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and dip each piece into the beaten egg.
Coat the egg-dipped chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken nuggets in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Fry the nuggets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve the low sodium Chick-fil-A style nuggets warm and enjoy!
