Here are our tips to make it even easier to make these Homemade Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets:

1. The first step is just mixing whisking the milk and egg together. Then you just throw in your chicken! If you want to make this step easier, have your chicken all cut up into bite sizes pieces, ready to go.
2. Let the chicken soak for at least 30 minutes. This is what makes it SO tender.
3. While your chicken is soaking, mix all of your dry ingredients4. Also while your chicken is soaking, get your sauce pan all heated with oil so you will be ready to add your chicken.
5. Once your chicken is done soaking, you are going take a few pieces at a time, and place them in the flour mixture. Make sure all the chicken is coated with the flour and then place into the hot oil
6. Cook each side for at least 2-3 minutes or until golden brown (You want to make sure that chicken is no longer pink)

Now that you have the chicken recipe, you HAVE to make the Chick-Fil-A sauce to go with it! The recipe is SO easy!

Here are the ingredients you need for Chick-Fil-A Sauce:

• mayonnaise (or light mayonnaise)
• mustard
• lemon juice
• honey
• Barbecue Sauce (we like the “smoky” sauces best in this recipe)

If you have all of those ingredients, then you are set! You can actually make it!
