Scarlett says
These look really yummy. I used to love chik-fil-a when I was younger. Not so sure about the sugar, but these are definitely worth trying! Pinned!
Mary Ellen says
You really don’t taste the sugar. I think it is what makes it taste like theirs, use just half if it bothers you but I wouldn’t leave it out totally.
Laura Catherine says
We live in a little town with no Chick-Fil-A. We suffer terribly. I can’t wait to try these. I found your recipe on Clever Chicks Blog Hop!
Mary Ellen says
Thanks Laura, we have them where I live but I actually like these better. They are even good cold!
Jamie @ Coffee With Us 3 says
These look really tasty! The idea of putting powdered sugar in them intrigues me. Pinning.
Mary Ellen says
You don’t even know it’s there, it’s one of those secret ingredients, no one will guess.
Sarah says
I used to a get a chick fil a chicken biscuit every Saturday before drivers ed- so yummy! Pinned to my chicken dinner board.
Mary Ellen says
they are good, I may just go get one in the AM when I go to town!
Britni @ Play. Party. Pin. says
Powdered sugar? That’s a first. I LOVE Chick Fil-A nuggets so I’ll definitely have to try these out.
Mary Ellen says
yes, it works too and you really don’t taste it.

Yum – I love Chick Fil-A sandwiches but they are too far away from where I live to go there very often. Definitely giving these a try – they look great!
Mary Ellen says
Hope you love them! We sure do…..

Allison @ Dream a Little Bigger says
Chick Fil A is the best chicken ever IMO and the powdered sugar HAS to be key to that super special taste! Thanks for linking up at Link It or Lump It!
Mary Ellen says
Thanks Allison, I hope you try it. We love it here.

Mary Ellen says
Thanks for the feature! That’s so nice of you. I will definitely stop by.
Stefanie says
Do you think you could make these ahead and freeze them to make later? Or would it be best to cook them and then freeze them? Nice to have nuggets on hand for those nights when I really don’t feel like cooking. 🙂
Mary Ellen says
I honestly don’t know. I think I would cook or actually partially cook them first just enough to set the coating on them. Then I would think you could bake them. If you try it, let me know or next time I may try it because it actually would be good to know. Thanks for asking.

Betty Rodgers says
These look yummy. I got a copycat recipe for Chick-fil-A nuggets and it called to marinate them in dill pickle juice. Thanks for sharing. We love chicken nuggets.
Mary Ellen says
I have never heard of that one… how was it?
Betty Rodgers says
More work than worth it. Didn’t notice any difference in the taste if I would have marinated them or not.
Mary Ellen says
Sorry you thought that. The buttermilk should of started to change the texture of the chicken. I have found if I leave it in the buttermilk the texture of the chicken actually gets silky. Of course that isn’t what chick fil a does, so I am just wondering if it was marinated long enough. I have served this to lots of people and they have all been surprised how good it was.
Kari says
Soak the chicken in pickle juice. I have a recipe very close to this one, except u soak the chicken in pickle juice. The milk is buttermilk that I coat it in just before the flour mixture. I do not add powdered sugar to mine, but I might try this. I do add a pinch of paprika to the flour mixture. This make it taste exactly like Chick-Fil-A.
Mary Ellen says
I have seen that before too Kari, I need to try it. Thanks for your input.
Missy says
I was wondering if you absolutely have to marinate the chicken in the milk? Was going to make this for dinner tonight but cant if you have to let it marinade…
Mary Ellen says
I think you need too, it makes the chicken more tender.
Vickie Gonzalez says
I’ve heard from a reliable source that they marinade their chicken in pickle juice but not 100% sure & I’ve never tried it 🙂
Mary Ellen says
I’ve heard that too Vickie but I haven’t tried it. We are very happy with this recipe the way it is so don’t think I’ll be changing it soon.
mike moore says
Can they be baked?
Mary Ellen says
I don’t think so. I don’t think they will crisp up if you do.
Kathleen says
This is probably a dumb question, but could you bake them?
Mary Ellen says
No question is dumb. I don’t think this recipe would work if you do. If you wanted to quickly fry them to set the coating and then bake them they would work. Baking would get rid of some of the oil also.
Adrienne says
Is there a way to freeze somewhere within the steps of preparation? Thanks for any ideas.
Mary Ellen says
I’m not real sure but if I had to guess I would quickly fry them not all the way done. Put the pieces on a cookie sheet, not touching. Freeze, when frozen bag them. I’d bake them to serve if I did it. If you try it let me know please?
