Homemade Chick-Fil-A Nuggets and Waffle Fries
Recipe adapted from: Tamar McGill
We love Chick-Fil-A it's one of our favorite restaurants to grab lunch at. I saw this recipe pop up on Facebook and I knew I had to try it.
These are so good! Very easy to make and the kids gobble them up every time I make them! I thought I would share the recipe that I have been using.
I buy frozen waffle fries at Kroger.(Usually the plain, but I grabbed the seasoned bag this time)
- 1 pound chicken breast or tenders, cut into large chunks
- ⅓ cup dill pickle juice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- coconut oil for frying
Directions:
- Marinate the chicken in the pickle juice in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Mix the beaten egg and almond milk.
- Pour out pickle juice then add the egg/almond milk mixture. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Drain the egg/almond mixture and add the spice mixture. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Add a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil to a large frying pan. Add a single layer of chicken when the oil is hot enough.
- Fry about 3 minutes on each side or until it's thoroughly cooked.
- It may take 2-3 batches to cook one pound of chicken.
(can use coconut milk, coconut flour, and arrowroot flour if you prefer)
