How To Make chicken bites with honey mustard

  • Marinating bite-size pieces of chicken breasts.
    Step 1
    In a bowl, mix milk, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add chicken pieces and cover. Marinate for at least 4 hours, but better if overnight.
  • Flour, powdered sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
    Step 2
    In another bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, 4 teaspoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper.
  • Chicken pieces and flour in a resealable bag.
    Step 3
    Add some chicken pieces to a large Ziploc bag, add some flour mixture, and shake to coat.
  • Frying chicken in oil.
    Step 4
    Fry in batches in 375 degrees deep fryer or large Dutch oven.
  • Removing fried chicken from the oil.
    Step 5
    It only takes 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Draining chicken on a paper towel.
    Step 6
    Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
  • Honey mustard ingredients combined in a bowl.
    Step 7
    For the honey mustard sauce, mix the mayo, mustard, garlic powder, vinegar, honey, and paprika in a small bowl. Cover and put in the fridge. I usually make this the night I marinate the chicken so it has a chance to blend together.
