CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN (AND NUGGETS) COPYCAT

After looking on the internet for days for a Chick-Fil-A copycat and finding only plain old fried chicken recipes, I decided to try and imitate it myself. It came out pretty darn close I think! There are two crucial ingredients chick-fil-a uses that most recipes dont have- pickle juice and sugar. They also use MSG- but its also ok without it if you dont like it. Just cut up the breasts into chunks and follow recipe for nuggets. (Edit: I also have to say I love Chick- Fil-A and that I think they're a great company. I encourage anyone to visit if they can, the staff is always so nice and polite at every location I've been to! Its just too bad they don't have more locations!)

Chick-Fil-A Chicken (And Nuggets) Copycat image

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts till they are thin enough for your taste. (I find a lot of breasts are really too thick for a sandwich so I pound out the thick part a little) Cut into chunks if you want nuggets.
  • Place chicken in plastic bag with pickle juice and marinate for an hour (preferably overnight).
  • Mix up eggs in seperate bowl for the egg wash.
  • Mix flour and remaining spices in another shallow bowl.
  • Remove chicken from the pickle juice maranade and drain well. Dip into the egg wash and then into the flour mixture.
  • Fry the chicken however you prefer here. I pan fried mine in a few tablespoons of oil and it turned out fine. Chick-Fil-A deep fries theirs in a pressure cooker, so you can try that if you are feeling adventurous.

COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN NUGGETS

I developed this recipe to copycat Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets. I knew I had a winner the first time I made them because the whole family fought over who got the last one! For a dipping sauce, combine barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard, then stir in honey to add some sweetness. -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia
