Mama Parker's Chicken Nuggets

These chicken nuggets are a favorite in our house.  They taste very similar to Chick-fil-A brand chicken nuggets.  Taste for yourself and tell me what you think.

2 pounds (we buy the thin sliced) chicken breast- chopped into bite size peices
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon Chicken rub (when I don't have my own on hand, I use McCormick Grill Mates)
1 tablespoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black Pepper
1 teaspoon Blackened seasoning (we use Old Bay)
2 cups Milk
1 Egg
1/2 teaspoon Frank's hot sauce

Deep fryer with canola oil, heated to full temp.  If you have one that's adjustable temperature,  heat to 400°.

1. Mix together in one bowl the flour, corn starch, and all the seasonings. In a second bowl, mix together milk, egg, and hot sauce.
2. Cut chicken into bite size peices, working in small batches, toss into milk mixture, and then toss into the flour mixture.  Make sure all sides are covered and you have a nice thick layer of flour and seasonings over the chicken.
3. Once covered, gently place into the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes.
4.  When done frying and all chicken pieces float to top, pull out and place on plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
