Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make Honey Mustard: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and juice from half a lemon until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Marinate Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast chunks with ¾ cup dill pickle juice and ½ cup of milk. Stir well to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat Oil: Drain the chicken and pat it dry. In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of peanut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Coating: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ½ cup milk and 1 large egg, then coat the chicken pieces. In another dish, mix 1 cup flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar.
- Fry Chicken: Add coated chicken to the hot oil in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Serve: Serve the hot nuggets alongside the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying and avoid overcrowding for the best results. Customize the coating with additional spices if desired.
