This recipe recreates the beloved Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets at home, featuring tender chicken pieces marinated in dill pickle juice and milk, seasoned with a blend of spices, then pan-cooked to juicy perfection. It’s a healthier grilled alternative that’s perfect for dipping and snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/3 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to a bowl and pour in the milk and dill pickle juice. Stir to combine and push the chicken down so that it is mostly submerged in the marinade. Cover and let it stand for 45 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor.
  2. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and place them on a paper towel-lined tray. Pat the tops with additional paper towels to thoroughly dry the surface, which helps with seasoning adherence and browning.
  3. Toss the dried chicken pieces with powdered sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated on all sides, ensuring even flavor distribution.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally to brown evenly, until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
  5. Remove the cooked nuggets from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious copycat Chick-fil-A experience.
