Copycat Chick-Fil-A Nuggets With Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Nuggets
1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
oil (for frying, vegetable, canola, or peanut, not olive)
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

For the chicken:
Fill a deep fryer or large stockpot with enough oil to submerge the chicken. Heat to 375\u00b0F.
While the oil is heating, place the chicken pieces in a freezer bag. Add flour, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; seal and shake well.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken pieces and shake off any excess flour. Place on a plate or in a bowl.
When the oil is ready, place a handful of nuggets into the oil (do not overcrowd your pan! My deep fryer came with a basket and fit roughly 6-8 pieces). Fry for 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. You may need to let your oil heat back up to 375F in between batches if it gets too cold (use a thermometer). Place the cooked pieces on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the oil.
When the chicken is done, serve with the dipping sauce.
For the sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well-blended. Refrigerate while preparing the chicken.
