Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 cups oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and cover them with the pickle juice. Allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the milk with 1 tablespoon of the gluten-free flour blend to create a buttermilk-like consistency.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the rest of the gluten-free flour blend, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain the pickle juice. Dip each piece into the milk mixture to coat.
Step 7
Next, roll the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 8
Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure not to overcrowd the pot to maintain the oil temperature.
Step 9
Remove the nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your gluten-free Chick-fil-A style chicken nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces.
