Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine pickle juice and 0.5 cup of milk. Add the chicken pieces to the mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and set aside.
Step 4
In a separate dish, combine gluten-free flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 5
After marinating, drain the chicken and coat it in the egg mixture. Then, dredge the pieces in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Add the gluten-free breadcrumbs to the flour mixture and mix well.
Step 7
Preheat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Fry the chicken nuggets in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 9
Remove the chicken nuggets from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
