Almost Chick Fil-A Chicken
Lightly battered chicken nuggets that will surely become a family favorite for you.It is pretty close to the real Chick Fil A Chicken. This is my favorite chicken nugget recipe, it is so good! I’d say you would want to slap someone but really don’t know what that means. Have you ever wondered how some sayings get started? This is one of those. Who want to hit their mama just because something tastes so good? I would think you’d want to hug her. Regardless of the saying I hope you try this recipe it is truly good…. So the recipe I want to share with you today is a recipe for chicken nuggets I have been making lately. I have never understood how anyone would want to eat those overly processed nuggets you get at fast food places. Chick Fil-A is the only place I will even order chicken nuggets. I know kids love them but I think if you give them a choice these could fast become their nuggets of choice, you may need to cut the pepper in half for them because these definitely have a pepper bite. One of the things that is different about this recipe is that you soak the chicken in milk and egg. It gives the chicken a silky kind of texture the longer it is in the milk mixture, but not mushy. I have let the chicken sit in the milk mixture for up to 24 hours but I wouldn’t do it any longer than that. Cooking the nuggets takes about 10 minutes. You can make up the flour mixture ahead of time and keep it in a tightly sealed bag. 5.0 from 1 reviews Almost Chick Fil-A Chicken Author: Mary Ellen Prep time: 2 hours 10 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 2 hours 20 mins Serves: Serves 2 - 3 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts 1 cup milk 1 egg 1 1/4 cups flour 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder (can be omitted) peanut oil or canola oil 2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts 1 cup milk 1 egg 1 1/4 cups flour 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder (can be omitted) peanut oil or canola oil In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk.
