Chick Fil A Bites

By Pattywak

I use canola oil due to a family member with severe peanut allergy.
These are soooooo good. She could not eat Chick-Fil-A otherwise as they use peanut oil

Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt & pepper
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup dill pickle juice
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup peanut oil, divided (or canola or vegetable oil)

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk together egg, milk and pickle juice, and pour into a large Ziploc bag or bowl. Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

Combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper in a large Ziploc bag. Shake to combine. Remove chicken from the marinade and add into the bag. Shake to coat the chicken completely.

Heat half the oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat (6 or 7 out of 10.) Test the oil by dropping in a bit of the flour mixture. If it sizzles, the oil is ready, if it pops, lower the temperature a bit.

Gently place chicken pieces into the oil with tongs.
Do this in 2 batches, as you don’t want to overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown on one side.
Turn the chicken over and allow to cook for 3-4 more minutes.
Remove to a paper-towel lined plate.
Heat the remaining oil and continue with the other half of the chicken pieces.
