Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breast fillets, skinless and boneless
- 240 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 30 ml powdered sugar
- 10 ml salt
- 5 ml pepper
- 2.5 ml garlic powder (optional)
- Peanut oil or canola oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and stir in the milk.
- Cut the chicken breast fillets into bite-sized pieces and trim off excess fat.
- Place the chicken in the milk mixture, ensuring it is well coated, and marinate for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Mix the flour, powdered sugar, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder in a resealable bag (approx. 4 liters). Seal the bag and shake well to combine.
- Heat about 5 cm of oil in a deep pot over medium to high heat, using a thermometer to achieve 190°C (375°F).
- Remove the marinated chicken from the milk mixture and add it to the bag with the flour mixture. Seal the bag and shake until the chicken pieces are fully coated.
- Carefully place about 6-8 breaded chicken nuggets in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, flipping them once when the edges turn white, for a few minutes on each side.
- Take the finished nuggets out of the oil and let them drain on paper towels. Repeat until all nuggets are fried.
- Serve the Chick-fil-A style chicken nuggets with your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra tenderness, it’s crucial to let the chicken marinate for the full 4 hours. You can also try baking these nuggets at 200°C (400°F) for a healthier version.
