Ingredients

  • 2 large Chicken Breasts cut into Nugget size pieces
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Pickle Juice
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 3 cups Oil for the Deep Fryer or Skillet
  • 1/2 stick Butter Melted
  • 3 Tbsp Honey
  • 1 package Sister Schubert's Dinner Yeast Rolls in the Frozen section

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the Flour and  Powdered Sugar, and stir until well blended.  Set aside. Place the Milk, and Pickle Juice in a bowl, stir and set aside with the Flour mixture.  On a cutting Mat, place the Chicken Breasts, and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.  Cut into Nugget-sized pieces.
  • Place the Oil in your Deep Fryer, or in a deep heavy bottomed Skillet, and heat on Medium High, until hot.  Place the Chicken on the Mat, the bowl of the Milk mixture, and the Flour mixture close to the Deep Fryer or Skillet.  Dip the Chicken Nuggets in the Milk Mixture, and then in the Flour.
  • Place a few of the Dipped pieces on a large slotted Spoon, or Fryer spatula, and lower them into the hot Oil.  Fry for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown. Drain on paper towels.  Continue until all the Chicken Nuggets have been cooked.
  • While you're frying the Chicken Nuggets, heat the Dinner Rolls.  Follow package directions.  When Rolls are heated, remove them from the oven, and place them on a heat-proof surface.  In a small dish, place the Butter, and Honey, and heat in the microwave until the Butter is melted. (About 30 seconds)  Stir to combine, and brush the Honey-butter on the tops of the Rolls.
  • When all the Nuggets are cooked, cut the Rolls in half, and place a Nugget on each half of the Rolls. Serve with BBQ Sauce, Honey, or other favorite Dipping Sauces, and your favorite sides.
  • Enjoy!
