Chick-fil-A Bites with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
This is seriously the yummiest chicken recipe that my whole family will eat. They sound a little weird with the pickle juice and all but the girl who recommended it to me is a fabulous cook and I trust that anything she gives me is going to be good. These seriously do not disappoint! We've made them twice now and I would recommend letting them marinate at least 2 hours. I tried to cheat by only letting them marinate an hour tonight and while still good, they didn't soak up as much flavor.
I also loved the tip to check the heat of the oil. I used Canola but I'm sure peanut would be better. Enjoy!

2 Tablespoons powdered sugar

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons honey
Directions:
- Whisk together egg, milk and pickle juice, and pour into a large ziplock bag or bowl. Add chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper in a large ziplock bag. Shake to combine. Remove chicken from the marinade and add into the bag. Shake to coat the chicken completely.
- Heat half the oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat (6 or 7 out of 10.) Test the oil by dropping in a bit of the flour mixture. If it sizzles, the oil is ready, if it pops, lower the temperature a bit.
- Gently place chicken pieces into the oil with tongs. Do this in 2 batches, as you don’t want to overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Turn the chicken over and allow to cook for 3-4 more minutes. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. Heat the remaining oil and continue with the other half of the chicken pieces.
- Stir together the honey mustard dipping sauce ingredients, and serve with the hot chicken bites.
