Ingredients
- 2 Skinless and Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- peanut/canola oil
Directions
-
In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk.
-
Trim any fat away from chicken. Cube chicken into bite size pieces. Place chicken in milk mixture,and cover. Let it ‘marinate’ for 2-4 hours in the fridge. This will make the chicken very nice and tender.
-
In a gallon size resealable baggie combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Seal and shake to combine.
-
Place about 2 inches of oil in a medium deep pot. Over medium high heat (more towards the high side) heat oil until hot. If using a thermometer let the temperature reach 375°. If you don’t have a fancy gadget like most people, I always test my oil by dropping a few drops of water into it. You want it to sizzle and not pop too much. Adjust your heat if necessary.
-
Using a fork or tongs remove cut chicken from milk mixture and place in the flour mixture. Seal and shake until nuggets are completely coated.
-
Place about a 6-8 nuggets into hot oil and let them cook until golden brown, turning half way through once the edge of your chicken starts to turn white. About 1 minute each side. Always double check to see if any chicken you make is cooked through. I always just make a tiny cut to see if it’s pink. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
-
Repeat until all nuggets are cooked.
