Chick-Fil-A and have been "Inspired!" He has a wonderful outlook on work ethics, community outreach, faith and how to succeed in business and life. I have always admired the way he has operated his business and recommend his book to anyone wanting inspiration both personally and professionally. Anywhoo, we don't have a Chick - Fil - A in Venice, FL (we should!) so I decided to make my own chicken nuggets!! Here is my own version of a good nugget!
3 boneless chicken breasts, cut in 1 1/2" chunks1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cups plain bread crumbs
1 Tblsp sugar
1 Tblsp paprika (or more...I tend to add more)
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
Place chicken chunks in bowl of buttermilk and let sit in refrigerator for at least 1 hour. In plastic container with lid or resealable bag, mix all dry ingredients. In large skillet pour enough oil to cover 1- 1 1/2 inch of bottom of skillet. Turn burner on medium high. Remove chicken from buttermilk and place in bag or container with flour mixture. Shake or mix to coat chicken. Place chicken in hot skillet in single layer and cook until golen brown on bottom and turn over, cooking until golden brown on both sides, usually about 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness of chicken. When done, place on paper towels to drain. Add more salt and pepper if needed. I serve with Honey Mustard dressing or Cream Gravy like we do in Oklahoma!! Yeehawww!
This is a beautifully done recipe! Buttermilk makes everything taste wonderful. And so easy. Love it!
