For best results, allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight if possible.

Afterward, take your chicken out of the mixture and put it on paper towels. Dab it until dry then get rid of the additional milk and pickle juice.

Next, set your stove to medium-high and drizzle in some olive oil or sunflower oil.

In a bowl, mix your chicken with the powdered sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt.

Cook your chicken in the heated pan for 8-10 minutes, making sure to toss it regularly so that it cooks evenly. Depending on how powerful your stove is, you may need additional time to cook throughly.

-1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. First, cut up your boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This is also a good opportunity to remove any unwanted fat from the chicken.
2. Chicken tastes best when it’s marinated, so put your chicken into a baggie or bowl along with pickle juice and milk. Let the chicken sit in the liquid for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight.
3. Then, take your chicken out of the mixture and lay it on paper towels. Pat it dry. Drain off any excess milk or pickle juice.
4. Then, set your saucepan to medium-high and add some olive oil or sunflower oil.
5. In a bowl, add your chicken along with the powdered sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt. Mix everything together until it is fully combined.
6. Cook your chicken in the heated pan for about 8-10 minutes, tossing it regularly to ensure even cooking. Depending on how hot your stove gets, you may need more time to cook through thoroughly.
7. Once the food is cooked, take it off the stove and serve with honey mustard sauce. If you have any extra packets of sauce, feel free to use those as well!

Chick-Fil-A copycat honey mustard sauce

If you love honey mustard as much as I do, then the recipe below is for you! This copycat version of Chick-Fil-A’s honey mustard dipping sauce is mayo-based, with two types of mustard and, of course, honey. The vinegar gives it an extra zing. You could also use hot honey or add a dash of hot sauce if you want some heat.

The first secret ingredient in grilled nuggets Chick Fil A is pickle juice

If you want to use pickle juice, simply get it straight from the jar of your favorite type of pickles. I recommend dill pickle juice, but if you prefer sweet or bread and butter pickles, go for it.

Be aware that not all types of pickles (and hence their juices) are equal. Some have much more sodium than others. To avoid picking one that’s too salty, check the label on the jar before buying it..

The second secret ingredient is powdered sugar

submerged in pickle juice and milk for 30 minutes, you’ll then coat it with a mixture of powdered sugar and other seasonings.Adding the sugar to the dry rub not only aids in creating a crisp outer layer but also helps balances out the overall flavor profile of your nuggets.You might be wondering why we use powdered sugar instead of granulated or brown sugar- trust us, it makes all the difference!Powdered sugar is usually combined with corn starch which gives these bad boys their desired texture.

Chick-Fil-A copycat honey mustard sauce

If you, like me, cannot have nuggets without sauce, then I have the perfect solution for you down below. This is my version of Chick-Fil-A’s honey mustard dipping sauce that rivals the original.

It consists of mayo, two types of mustard, and honey. The vinegar gives it an extra tang. If you want a little bit of spice, feel free to use hot honey or add some hot sauce

Notes

You can also cook this recipe on the grill! We’ve made this serving size for 6 people, each eating approximately 24 nuggets. But depending on how large you cut them, the final count may vary.

Tips

-If you want to avoid using paper towels, you can put the chicken onto a cooling rack that is placed on top of a baking sheet. The chicken will dry out this way as well.

-To keep your chicken warm after cooking, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and place the cooked chicken onto a baking sheet. Put it into the oven until you are ready to serve.

-If you don’t have access to dill pickle juice, you can use 1/4 cup of white vinegar mixed with 1/4 cup of water instead.

-You can also use this recipe to make chicken strips! Just cut your chicken into strips instead of bite-sized pieces.

-If you want a little bit more of a crunch in your nuggets, you can add 1/4 cup of bread crumbs to the mixture before cooking.

-For a healthier option, you can use skim milk instead of whole milk.
