Copycat Chick-fil-A Nuggets Tips
What kind of oil should you use to fry copycat Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets?
When deep-frying chicken nuggets, you want to use an oil with a high smoking point. Some of the
best oils for frying include peanut, canola, sunflower, safflower, corn or vegetable oil. Do not use olive oil, butter or shortening.
How can you tell when the copycat Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets are done frying?
These chicken nuggets are done frying when they are golden brown, and the juices are clear when you cut into a piece. If you’re unsure of the cooking time, test a single piece first. This will help you gauge the cooking time for the rest of the copycat chicken nuggets.

Serve your copycat nuggets the traditional way: with Chick-fil-A sauce! To make, combine barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard and honey to taste. Sometimes, we like to add in a little mayo as well to make the texture of your
copycat Chick-fil-A sauce more similar to what you'd get at the restaurant. To finish your meal, whip together
