My kids & I love Chicken Nuggets and Chick-Fil-A makes the best ones. These taste just like them in my mind and they are quick & fun to make with kids. Whether you use plain flour or a mixture of flour and bread crumbs comes down to a texture choice. I like the bread crumbs. As for the salt and pepper, use whatever you like and have around. Remember, you are making it, so you can make it just the way you like and use Pink Himalayan Salt, if you want to. You can cut the calories by using an Air Fryer at 375 F for 8 to 12 minutes and golden brown.

    Prep Time:   10    Cook Time:   10    Total Time:   20

INGREDIENTS:

Chick-fil-A Nuggets:
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 lb. skinless and boneless chicken breasts
• 1 1/2 (1 & a 1/2) cups flour (or an equal mixture of flour and unseasoned bread crumbs)
• 2 Tbsp powdered sugar (that is why their nuggets are so sweet)
• 2 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp white pepper
• ½ tsp chili powder
• peanut or canola oil for frying

INSTRUCTIONS: Dredging Operation and Fry in Oil or Air Fryer.

For the chicken nuggets, chop a chicken breast into nugget size pieces. Chick-fil-A actually uses chicken breast meat that is cut to 1″ chunks.

Whisk 1 Cup Milk & 1 Egg and soak your chicken for 30 minutes refrigerated. (Some add a bit of pickle juice to the marinate. The more pickle juice, the more pickle juice flavor. I would not use more than 1/3 rd a cup max.)

Toss your soaked chicken in a chicken flour mixture. ( 1¼ cup flour, 2 Tbsp powdered sugar, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, ½ tsp chili powder)

Once they're all coated, deep fry or pan fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes.

Now serve them with your awesome sauces and feel like a hero for one day.

Chick-fil-A Sauce:
• ½ cup Mayo
• 2 tsp prepared mustard
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tbs honey
• 1 tbs smokey BBQ sauce

Polynesian Sauce:
• 1 cup California French Dressing (Catalina Dressing)
• 3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 6 tablespoons honey
