Recipe Tips
- Preparing Chicken – For the best results cut the chicken up in about the same size pieces. This allows them to cook evenly and about the same time.
- Marinating Chicken – For the best flavor, we recommend marinating chicken for at least 20 minutes.
- Meat Thermometer – To ensure your chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The temperature should reach 165 degrees.
Serving Suggestions
These grilled chicken nuggets are best served with your favorite dipping sauce. We love to dip them in honey mustard or homemade ranch. I love to serve them a side of French Fries and fruit salad for complete meal idea.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Chick Fil A marinate their chicken in?
The secret is pickle juice. Yes, pickle juice! The chicken is marinated in a brine similar to pickle juice. We are using pickle juice to make it easy and still get that same flavor. It gives the chicken that distinct flavor that also tenderizes.
How to Store Leftovers
These grilled nuggets are delicious leftover. Place the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
How to Reheat
We like to reheat in the air fryer for just a few minutes. But you can also reheat in the microwave or the oven.
