Ingredients
  

  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast large and cut into chunks
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Dill Pickle Juice
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil or peanut oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a Ziploc bag, combine the milk, pickle juice, and egg.
  • Place the chicken inside the bag, seal, and let this marinade at least 4 hours or overnight. Be sure to place it inside another bowl or pan in case it leaks.
  • Once you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, salt, paprika, and ground pepper in another Ziploc Bag.
  • Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off it and then place it inside the bag with the flour mixture.
  • Seal and shake the bag so that all the chicken is well coated with the mixture.
  • In a medium sized saucepan, pour the oil so that it is about 2-4 inches high. Place a candy thermometer in the pan to measure the heat. Let this heat until it has reached 350°F.
  • Shake the excess off each piece of chicken and carefully drop in the oil when it is hot enough, letting it fry for about 8 minutes or until crispy.
  • Repeat for all chicken nuggets, you may have to add additional oil depending on the amount you use.
  • Once they have been fried, place them on a paper towel lined plate to allow the extra oil to drip off.
