Chick-Fil-A Grilled Nuggets Copycat

Tender pieces of chicken breast air fried with a copycat Chick-Fil-A seasoning blend.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Marinate 30 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Breast, diced
  • 1/2 C (120mL) Pickle Juice
  • 1/4 C (60mL) Skim Milk
  • 2 tsp Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika

Instructions

  1. Mix the pickle juice and milk together before adding the diced chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes (or overnight).
  2. Drain the chicken before adding a mixture of the remaining ingredients. Once evenly coated, transfer to an air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 10-12 minutes at 400ºF until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165ºF. If you'd like your nuggets a bit crispier, you can use the broil function for a few minutes to add crisp them up without drying out the chicken.

Notes

*I used the Instant Pot Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker Combo. Different air fryers may require slight modifications to cook time.

For the Honey BBQ Sauce, mix 1-2 Tbsp honey mustard with 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce.
