Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup pickle juice
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces and pickle juice. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk or buttermilk and egg.
- In a third bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Remove the chicken from the pickle juice marinade and dip each piece into the milk/egg mixture, then dredge in the gluten-free flour mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
- Heat the oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the breaded chicken nuggets to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 4-5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
