Chicken Nuggets: Chick-Fil-A Style

Category: Recipes

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.
