How to Make Chick-fil-A-Style Nuggets at Home

Calories: ~250–300 per 8-piece (without sauces)
Allergens: Wheat; milk/egg if using buttermilk/egg wash; check sauce labels
Estimated Cost: ~$2.00–$2.50 per 8-piece serving at home

1 Marinate: Cut chicken breast into 1-inch nuggets. Marinate 30–60 min in ½ cup buttermilk (or milk) + 1 tsp dill pickle juice + ½ tsp salt. (Optional: ¼ tsp sugar for subtle sweetness.)

2 Breading: In a bowl, combine ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp black pepper, ½ tsp salt. Drain nuggets (no need to rinse), toss in dry mix to coat.

3 Cook: Fry in 1–2 inches of neutral oil at 350°F / 175°C for 3–4 minutes, until golden and the internal temp hits 165°F / 74°C. Air fryer: 390°F / 200°C for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway; spray lightly with oil.

4 Serve: Rest 2 minutes, then serve hot with Chick-fil-A-style sauces (try a mix of honey mustard + BBQ + mayo for a quick copycat).

Pro Tip: For extra cragginess, double-dip: toss marinated chicken in breading, back into a splash of marinade, then bread again.
