I hope your kids love these homemade chicken nuggets as much as my daughter does – and if you make them, let me know whether or not you think they measured up to Chick-Fil-A!Ĭan these Chick-fil-A nuggets be frozen? Yes, you can freeze these nuggets either after coating (before frying) or after frying. (The pickle juice is also balanced out by adding the powdered icing sugar, resulting in a umami, tart, sweet and salty taste combination that is sheer perfection.) That brine is essential to the final flavor of the nuggets, as it delivers a punchy flavor without being overpowering.

Keep in mind that these nuggets need to soak in a dill pickle brine for 2 hours or overnight before you start cooking them, so give yourself enough time. We had some leftover and reheated them in the oven the next day and they were good, but definitely better when they were fresh. These homemade chicken nuggets are best enjoyed fresh and hot. I have heard that peanut oil is often safe for people with allergies because the processing separates the protein from the oil, and the protein is what triggers allergies – but please do your own research to ensure that this is safe for you.) (While our recipes calls for milk and peanut oil, you can swap those out for coconut milk or vegetable oil, respectively.

Even if you live close to a Chick-Fil-A, it’s awesome to be able to make these Chick-Fil-A nuggets at home if you have peanut or milk allergies to consider, or just want to save money.
