I ended up adding pickle juice to the marinade and DH loved it so much, we made them again tonight! Thanks @mediagirl: and @TemperanceBrennan: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets#post-1828652 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:51:39 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1828652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These sound delicious - I'm going to have to try them - thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets#post-1828642 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:49:33 +0000 BSB 1828642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I used to work for Chick-fil-a. When I worked there almost 10 years ago and used to do the breeding myself, nuggets and filets are not marinated, but strips and grilled filets are (secret in marinade is pickle juice). I can check with my friends who own or still work there but I believe the practice is the same. </p> <p>The milk wash they used before breeding is just dipped and not marinated. But if you want it juicier, I can see how marinating it could help. </p> <p>@mediagirl: I don't know what is in the coater (flour mixture) but the recipe looks close enough. Glad to hear it taste good. I'll have to try it sometime soon. I am excited that Chick-fil-A is finally coming to Seattle areas (3 stores) in Spring of 2015. I can't wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets#post-1828606 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 12:41:12 +0000 T-Mom 1828606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh yum!

Like @Mae: mentioned, the one I used marinades in pickle juice.<br /> <a href="http://iowagirleats.com/2012/03/01/chick-fil-a-bites-with-honey-mustard-dipping-sauce/" rel="nofollow">http://iowagirleats.com/2012/03/01/chick-fil-a-bites-with-honey-mustard-dipping-sauce/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets#post-1827785 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 09:28:02 +0000 Mae 1827785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>interesting! I always thought I'd heard that the secret to CFA's chicken was it was marinated in pickle juice or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets#post-1827750 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 09:17:58 +0000 MrsRoo 1827750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yummm, now we just need a copy cat chic-fil-a sauce recipe to go with these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets#post-1827725 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 09:11:37 +0000 mediagirl 1827725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @autumnlove: my lo gobbled them up, even without a dipper.

I needed a quick chicken meal and this link came up when I googled pan-fried chicken.They were really, really good. I didn't use as much oil as the recipe suggested, I just made sure there was always enough to line the bottom of the pan. They came out so good!! </p> <p>I thought I'd share in case anyone wants to try making chick-fil-a nuggets at home. :)<br /> <a href="http://www.kristinschell.com/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kristinschell.com/homemade-chick-fil-a-nuggets/</a> </p>
