CHICK FIL A NUGGETS | Homemade Chick-Fil-A Nuggets Recipe
Metho of making
today i’m making chick-fil-a style nuggets at home and i’m starting with three quarters of a pound of chicken breast and i’m cutting them into bite-sized pieces and what i’m going to do is brine them in a third cup of pickle brine use whatever pickle juice you have in your refrigerator and here i’ve placed all of my chicken breast pieces in a food storage bag and i’m just going to add my pickle juice i’m going to close this up and just put it in the fridge for about an hour at least 30 minutes to brine works but i’m going to go for one hour for the dredge i’m going to use three quarters of a cup of all-purpose flour to that i will add one tablespoon of non-fat dried milk i’m also adding one and a half teaspoons of chicken bouillon powder
by the way you can change up the ratios for these seasonings and spices to your preference i’m also adding a quarter teaspoon of salt one teaspoon of onion powder i’m also going to be adding one and a half teaspoons paprika half teaspoon of lemon pepper a quarter teaspoon of black pepper and an eighth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper give that a mix and that’s done for the wet ingredients i’m going to add one large egg and a third cup of whole milk i actually used a little bit too much milk here but a third cup should do the trick and just give that a mix and i’m going to add a little bit of that wet into the dry and sort of mix it around and add some dredge clumps in there that will definitely add texture to the breading of these nuggets now it’s time to bread these i’ve removed my chicken pieces from the pickle brine i left them brine for about

an hour so what i’m going to do is just add all of my chicken pieces to the wet egg mixture remove them from the egg mixture and then add them right into my dry mixture my flower dredge and then you coat them well i’m actually going to do a double coating for these so i’m just going to repeat the process for all of my chicken pieces once they’re done being coated i’m going to let them set for about 10 minutes that really helps the coating adhere to the chicken nuggets you’ll want to fry these at 350 degrees fahrenheit that’s a good fried temp i just use a wooden spoon it’s
eally not a scientific method but it works so i’m going to fry these in batches and i will be cooking these for about three to five minutes it really depends on how thick or how large you cut your chicken pieces so three to five minutes should do the trick now that my nuggets are cooked through i’m going to remove them from the fry oil and onto a baking sheet with a wire rack this helps any residual oil run off of the nuggets but these are ready and i’m going to take a bite to show you how tender and juicy they are i hope you give this recipe a try i hope you like it
thank you
