As you all know from my recent confession I am addicted to pinterest! It is one of the best technology creations I've experienced in a while. I decided a few weeks ago that I was going to start working to incorporate my many pins into real life experiences. Yes, I decided to get to work. Well, this is officially #2 in my demystifying the monster. If you'd like to revisit the official #1 - Clutter Buster - Recycling Candles and My Scentsy Warmer <a title="Clutter Buster - Recycling Candles and My Scentsy Warmer" href="http://wp.me/p1gZF5-ba" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a>.

Ok, so many months ago I found a pin that "claimed" to have the recipe for chick-fil-a nuggets. Supposedly the secret, believe it or not, was dill pickle juice and powdered sugar. When I read this I was immediately skeptical because that just doesn't seem right, but I read the reviews at the bottom of the post and 99.9% of them were raving at how close these were to the real thing. Well, that's all I needed to read since I eat there do much I should have stock in the company. I followed the beginning of the recipe, which created a marinade for the chicken. The next night on my way home I stopped by the store and bought some powdered sugar.

Now...let me just say my experience was like Lucy when she was in the chocolate factory, because I had flour everywhere...the marinade bag fell over so there was an egg, milk, pickle juice mixture all on the cabinet...and THEN, the pan was too hot so as soon as I put the nuggets in the pan they started to brown!!! Needless to say I was able to make the necessary adjustments and cooked all the nuggets without burning the house down (barely). The end result....FABULOUS!!! It was not exactly like it but it was extremely close. My sweetheart even put his stamp of approval on them. I've learned from the mistakes I've made so I thought I'd spare with you by listing them here:

1. Start off with your temp lower that what the recipe says, because on my stove it was hotter than it needed to be.
2. Get all your chicken out the marinade and into the flour mixture before you start cooking.
3. Double the flour mixture if cooking more than one cut up breast. I had two and almost ran out of the mixture.
4. Oil amount seemed low but not extremely...this may have been due to the heat level I started with.

Sooooo I'm sorry I ate all the nuggets before I even thought to take a pic, but it's ok you can look at the pic on the original blog post. Now all I need is the recipe for their BBQ sauce!

Here is the full recipe from the original blog:  <a href="http://iowagirleats.com/2012/03/01/chick-fil-a-bites-with-honey-mustard-dipping-sauce/comment-page-1/#comment-1045866">http://iowagirleats.com/2012/03/01/chick-fil-a-bites-with-honey-mustard-dipping-sauce/comment-page-1/#comment-1045866</a>
