Chick Fil A Nuggets with sauce in bowl

Chick Fil A Nuggets

Safira
Chick Fil A Nuggets are famous for a reason. Made with Chicken Breast, Spices and Pickle Juice as well as a secret and unexpected (well in my world anyway) ingredient that adds sweetness. These Nuggets are served with a Honey Mustard dipping sauce that is equally as delicious as the nuggets.

Storage

How To Freeze Chicken Nuggets:

Once the Chicken Nuggets are cooled, pop them into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat in the Oven:

• OVEN: Bake in a single layer at 190 C/Gas Mark 5 for 15 minutes until crisp and hot all the way through.
• AIR FRYER: Pop in the air fryer at 190 C for 8 to 12 minutes, turning midway, until hot all the way through and crisp on the outside.

Tips for frying Chick Fil A Nuggets

As tempting as it is, don't be tempted to crowd the oil with ALLLL the Chicken. It will drop the temperature of the Oil meaning you will end up with soggy Chicken with no coating.
Remove fried Chicken on to a wire cooling rack not tissues. Tissues steam the Chicken and will make the crispy coating soggy.
