Chick-fil-A Bites with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

• 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with salt & 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)
  
  


• For the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:
  
  
  
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  
  
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
  
  
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  
  
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  
  
  
  

• Whisk together egg, milk and pickle juice, and pour into a large ziplock bag or 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.
• Stir together the honey mustard dipping sauce ingredients, and serve with the hot chicken bites.
