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.
Combine Chicken, Milk and Dill Pickle Juice in a large bowl.
Cover and place in the fridge for 30 mins to 2 hours.
Add Egg to the same bowl and mic through.
Heat Oil.
Combine Flour, Sugar, Paprika, Red Chilli Powder, Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper in a plate and mix evenly.
Dip the Chicken into the Flour mixture. Check that the Oil is hot.

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.
