Pinterest for the Win

Look down. See my last post? Read the part where I tell you how I want Chick-fil-a nuggets for my Irish Day party (because I'm obsessed - and I didn't even go into just how obsessed I am).

Then read the part where I tell you Chick-fil-a is scarce around these parts so my party might be nuggetless. Sad face.
Now come back here. And read this sentence about how much I love Pinterest and all that it brings to my life. Like this recipe for Chick-fil-a knock-off nuggets. Oh sweet baby jebus, thank you Pinterest and Amy at My Name is Snickerdoodle.

Sweet Chicky Nuggets
-2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
-1 cup milk
-1 egg
-1 1/4 cups flour
-2 TBSP powdered sugar
-2 tsp salt
-1 tsp pepper
-peanut oil (is best) or canola oil

In a medium bowl whisk the egg and stir in the milk. Trim any fat away from chicken. Cube chicken into bite size pieces. Place chicken in milk mixture,and cover. Let it 'marinate' for 2-4 hours in the fridge. This will make the chicken very nice and tender. In a gallon size resealable baggie combine flour, powdered sugar, salt and pepper. Seal and shake to combine. Place about 2 inches of oil in a medium deep pot. Over medium high heat (more towards the high side) heat oil until hot. If using a thermometer let the temperature reach 375°. If you don't have a fancy gadget like most people, I always test my oil by dropping a few drops of water into it. You want it to sizzle and not pop too much. Adjust your heat if necessary. Using a fork or tongs remove cut chicken from milk mixture and place in the flour mixture. Seal and shake until nuggets are completely coated. Place about a 6-8 nuggets into hot oil and let them cook until golden brown, turning half way through once the edge of your chicken starts to turn white. About 1 minute each side. Always double check to see if any chicken you make is cooked through. I always just make a tiny cut to see if it's pink. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Repeat until all nuggets are cooked. Serve with your favorite sauce!

I'm way more excited about these nuggets than should be allowed for a person over the age of 9. But looking at the comment section of Amy's post, looks like I'm not the only one. Hope to make these and enjoy way too many of them prior to the party to "try 'em out". You should too. And send them to me to eat. Your welcome!
