Chick-fil-A’s chicken nuggets are famous for their unique flavor and crispy texture. You can recreate a similar style of chicken nuggets at home with this easy recipe. Here's how you can make Chick-fil-A style chicken nuggets at home.



Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts 500g (cut into small pieces)
  • Buttermilk 1 cup (if you don’t have buttermilk, use 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar)
  • Salt 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pepper 1/2 teaspoon
  • Paprika 1 teaspoon
  • Onion powder 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic powder 1 teaspoon
  • Flour 1 cup
  • Cornstarch 1/4 cup
  • Baking powder 1/2 teaspoon
  • Oil (for frying)

Dipping Sauce

  • Honey mustard sauce (pairs perfectly with chicken nuggets)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken:

    • Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
    • In a bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well.
    • Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (the longer, the better!).

  2. Prepare the flour mixture:

    • In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
    • Take the marinated chicken pieces and dredge them in the flour mixture, pressing gently to coat them evenly with the flour.

  3. Fry the chicken:

    • Heat oil in a frying pan to about 2-3 cm deep over medium heat.
    • Once the oil is hot enough, fry the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.

  4. Drain and serve:

    • Once the chicken nuggets are golden and crispy, place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
    • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard.

Tips:

  • If using milk and vinegar as a substitute for buttermilk, allow it to sit for at least 10 minutes to thicken and mimic the buttermilk consistency.
  • Keep an eye on the oil temperature while frying to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and crisply. Avoid stirring too much to prevent uneven frying.

These Chick-fil-A style chicken nuggets are easy to make at home and capture that signature flavor. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends, so give them a try!
