- When ready to cook, pour enough peanut oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom with 2 inches of oil. Heat peanut oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and monitor temperature.
- Make the dredging mixture by combining flour, powdered sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, M.S.G. (if using), and baking soda in a shallow bowl or gallon-sized resealable plastic bag.

CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN (AND NUGGETS) COPYCAT
After looking on the internet for days for a Chick-Fil-A copycat and finding only plain old fried chicken recipes, I decided to try and imitate it myself. It came out pretty darn close I think! There are two crucial ingredients chick-fil-a uses that most recipes dont have- pickle juice and sugar. They also use MSG- but its also ok without it if you dont like it. Just cut up the breasts into chunks and follow recipe for nuggets. (Edit: I also have to say I love Chick- Fil-A and that I think they're a great company. I encourage anyone to visit if they can, the staff is always so nice and polite at every location I've been to! Its just too bad they don't have more locations!)

Steps:
- Pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (I find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so I pound out the thick part a little) Cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
- Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
- Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
- Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
- Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
- Fry the chicken however you prefer here. I pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. Chick-Fil-A deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.

Tips:
- For crispy and juicy chicken, use a combination of buttermilk and pickle juice in the marinade. Buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken, while pickle juice adds a tangy flavor.
- Make sure to coat the chicken evenly in the breading mixture before frying. This will help ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly and has a crispy crust.
- Use a deep fryer or large pot filled with oil to fry the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the pot when frying the chicken. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through. Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
