Chicken Nuggets
I love going to Chic Fil A for their nuggets. I live about 1 1/2 hours away from my nearest restaurant and so I don’t get there very often. My daughter, Haley, found this recipe and adapted it to her taste. We love it!!! Hint: If you ever have extra Chic Fil A sauce leftover, save it and use it when you make these. YUM!
- 3 chicken breasts (trimmed and cut into 2-3 strips each)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
Copycat ChicFilA Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon BBQ Sauce, smokey or reg.
- 2 Tablespoon Honey
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon yellow mustard
Preheat oven to 400*. In a 9×13 pan, add butter and place in oven to melt. Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt, seasoning salt, pepper, paprika and ranch seasoning in a large zip plastic bag. Cut chicken into small pieces. Place in the bag, close and toss to coat.
When butter is fully melted, remove pan from oven. Layer the chicken along the bottom of the pan. Try not to let them touch as this will change the frying. Return to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove. Using a tong, turn meat over to get even baking, and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove nuggets to paper towel to rid of excess oil. Serve with your favorite dips and dressings.
Mix Copycat ChicFilA Sauce ingredients until smooth. Serve as a dip.
