Ingredients
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp prepared yellow mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Nuggets:
1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/3 cup flour
1 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut, not olive)
Directions
For the sauce:
1.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.
Preparation
1.Fill a deep fryer or large stockpot with enough oil to submerge the chicken. Heat to 375F. 2.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. 3.Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken pieces and shake off any excess flour. Place on a plate or in a bowl. 4.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. 5.When the chicken is done, serve with the dipping sauce.
