Now to the reason this post is titled Yummyness!. Last night I decided to make a copycat recipe for Chick-fil-A bites and Chick-fil-A sauce. Now do you understand? {It definitely wasn't because of the dead mice.} They were both delicious and tasted just like it. So for those of you who don't have a CFA near you (and love it!), this recipe is for you to now make at home whenever you want! Yay! And you'll never guess what the secret ingredient is!?! Pickle juice!
Chick-fil-A Bites
2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
and seasoned with salt and pepper
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup 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)
Whisk together egg, milk and pickle juice, and pour into a large ziplock bag or a bowl. Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper in a large ziplock 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.
