Method

For the Fried Chicken Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch each.

  2. 2

    Create the Breading Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken piece into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the dry mixture. Ensure the chicken is well coated.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Chicken Bites

    Carefully drop the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

For the House Dressing or Copeland's Signature Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 8

    Whisk Until Smooth

    Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the fried chicken bites hot with your choice of house dressing or Copeland's Signature sauce on the side for dipping.
