Gluten-Free "Chick-Fil-A" Nuggets

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup dill pickle juice
1 egg
2 tbsp buttermilk
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp each salt & black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 dash ground cayenne pepper
1/2 cup coconut oil for frying

Instructions:

Cut the boneless skinless chicken breasts in to little chunks (about 1 inch).

Throw the chicken pieces in to a ziplog bag and add the 1/4 cup of pickle juice. Marinate it in the fridge for an hour.

After an hour, take out your marinated chicken and pour out any excess pickle juice from the bag.

Beat the egg and the buttermilk together and add it to the bag. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, open the bag to let out excess liquids again. (There might not be much of it at this point.)

Grab your dry ingredients and stir them all together in a bowl.

Heat up your cooking oil of choice at medium fire, and while you wait for that to heat up, go to the next step.

Add the dry ingredient mixture to the bag, and start mixing it all together evenly.

Start frying your chicken pieces! Try not to crowd them in the skillet. It takes a few minutes on both sides to cook thoroughly. You’ll know when it’s ready when it’s a golden brown color on both sides.

When the nuggets are ready, place them on a plate with a dry paper towel on it to help suck out some of that grease.
