Chick Fil A on Sunday

If you know me or anyone in my household, you know we LOVE Chick Fil A.  I think we could eat it for every meal, every day! With saying that, it gets expensive, especially with 4 mouths to feed, 2 of which are growing teen/pre-teens.   I came across this recipe on my favorite website- where else but Pinterest and I couldn't wait to try it. 
    With Football season fast approaching I would say these are a MUST make!  There is bound to be a rainy gross Saturday where all you want to do is watch Football all day long and have plenty of finger foods to snack on!  This will definitely be our go to snack!

Chick Fil A on Sunday

2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
2 TBSP powdered sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
peanut oil (is best) or canola oil

In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk. Trim any fat away from chicken(this is important). Cube chicken into bite size pieces. Place chicken in milk mixture,and cover. Let it 'marinate' for 2-4 hours in the fridge. This will make the chicken very nice and tender. In a gallon size resealable baggie combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Seal and shake to combine. Place about 2 inches of oil in a medium deep pot. Over medium high heat (more towards the high side) heat oil until hot. If using a thermometer let the temperature reach 375°. If you don't have a fancy gadget like most people, I always test my oil by dropping a few drops of water into it. You want it to sizzle and not pop too much. Adjust your heat if necessary. Using a fork or tongs remove cut chicken from milk mixture and place in the flour mixture. Seal and shake until nuggets are completely coated. Place about a 6-8 nuggets into hot oil and let them cook until golden brown, turning half way through once the edge of your chicken starts to turn white. About 1 minute each side. Always double check to see if any chicken you make is cooked through. I always just make a tiny cut to see if it's pink. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Repeat until all nuggets are cooked. Serve with your favorite sauce!



The only thing missing are the Waffle Fries and Sweet Tea-  but I plan on finding a way to re-create those at home as well!!!  If you try them let me know what you think!!!  Enjoy!
