Knock-off Chick-fil-A Bites

In a plastic container, whisk together pickle juice, milk, egg and salt. Add in the chunks of chicken breast and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.

Once chicken is done marinating, combine all of the ingredients for the breading in a large Ziplock bag. Add chicken chunks to the flour bag and shake until all of the chunks are coated.

Add peanut oil, salt and pepper into a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Let the peanut oil get very hot. Drop chicken chunks into the hot peanut oil and fry for about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate covered with a paper towel to drain off the grease. Repeat this process until all the chunks have been cooked.

Serve with your favorite sauce. I’m a ketchup girl, but honey mustard, ranch, or barbeque would work beautifully.
