It normally takes about 3 to 5 minutes to cook. It does not take long at all so keep a close eye on the chicken. You will need to work in batches and cook until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. Start to add the chicken to the hot oil.Give the recipe a shot, and let me know what you think in the comments below. That’s where powdered sugar rub comes in. Lastly, you can see they list a variety of herbs, spices, sugar and cornstarch. I like the milk, because it helps break down the chicken to make it tender, and based on the reviews this recipe gets, a lot of other people like it, too.
If you have a dairy intolerance or just don’t want to use milk, you could follow their ingredients list more closely and substitute the milk with oil and chicken broth.
They don’t list milk, so my brine recipe differs in that manner. The water, vinegar, salt, onion, garlic, pepper and herbs are ingredients you’ll find in pickle juice, so that’s a close match. Below is the ingredients list straight from their website:Ĭhicken (boneless skinless chicken breast, water, apple cider vinegar, soybean oil, modified corn starch, salt, yeast extract, sugar, chicken breast meat, chicken broth, dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, sea salt, cane molasses, spices, chicken fat, natural flavor, lemon peel, red bell pepper, paprika, lemon juice concentrate, parsley and vinegar solids, xanthan gum, and calcium disodium EDTA ). How closely does this match the ingredients in actual grilled Chick-Fil-A nuggets? You could also use hot honey or add a dash of hot sauce, if you like a little heat. The touch of vinegar gives it the added pop. It uses mayo, two types of mustard, and of course honey. If you’re like me, you can’t have the nuggets without the sauce, so I’ve included my copycat version of Chick-Fil-A’s honey mustard dipping sauce below. Just heat the grill to high or about 400F degrees.įor juicy nuggets, you only need to grill them about 3 minutes per side.Ĭhicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165F degrees. I usually use a gas grill, because it’s such a quick cook, but you could also use a charcoal grill, pellet grill or even an indoor grill. Now, that I have my own award-winning Chicken Rub from Spiceology, I just mix two teaspoons of it with the powdered sugar. I included it in the recipe notes, if you’re interested. When I first created this recipe in 2015, the rub was a little different. That’s the component that gives the nuggets their nice texture. Powdered sugar is usually combined with corn starch. The second secret ingredient is powdered sugarĪfter the chicken brines for 30 minutes in the pickle juice and milk, you’ll rub it with the powdered sugar and other seasonings.Īdding the sugar to the dry rub helps create a nice crust on the nuggets and balances out the seasonings.ĭon’t try this recipe with granulated or brown sugar. I don’t recommend marinating the nuggets for longer than 30 minutes, because too much brine time can make them too salty. The brine is the secret to making the nuggets extra juicy.
Chick fil a nuggets zip#
Place the chicken nuggets in a bowl or zip top bag and pour the juice and milk right on top. If you use a milk alternative like almond milk, just make sure it’s not flavored or sweetened.
You can use whole or low-fat, depending on your diet.
To create the brine, you’re going to combine the pickle juice with some milk.
