Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 cup Pickle juice
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Dairy-free butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 8 pieces Slider rolls
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and marinate them in pickle juice for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Step 2

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dairy-free buttermilk by mixing the unsweetened almond milk with apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Remove the chicken pieces from the pickle juice and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 5

Dip each chicken piece into the dairy-free buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Carefully fry the chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter and mix it with honey to create the honey butter.

Step 9

Brush each slider roll generously with the honey butter mixture.

Step 10

Assemble the chicken minis by placing a fried chicken nugget into each honey buttered slider roll.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free Chick-fil-A style chicken minis!
