Garbage-Free, Grain Free, Chick-Fil-A Nuggets

April 26, 2023

Garbage-Free Chick-fil-A Nuggets! 🐔❤️

Ingredients:
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1/4 cup pickle juice
• 1 egg, mixed
• 2 tbsp whole milk yogurt/or amasai
• 1/4 tapioca starch (potato starch ok)
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt & black pepper (or more)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 cup coconut oil for frying

1. Cut your chicken into 1” chunks. Place the chicken in a ziploc bag and add the pickle juice. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
2. After 1 hour, open the bag and pour out any excess pickle juice. It does not have to be perfectly drained just not really juicy.
3. Mix the egg in a bowl. Then add the yogurt/buttermilk/cream and mix together. Pour into the ziploc bag. Let sit for five minutes but make sure the chicken is coated in the liquid.
4. Again, open the bag and pour out excess liquid if there is any. Texture is important at this point, the pieces should be wet but not swimming in liquid.
5. Prep your dry ingredients by stirring them all together in a bowl. Add to the bag and mix them together by shaking and rubbing the bag so it’s evenly coating the chicken.
6. Heat up skillet of coconut oil on medium heat.
7. Fry your chicken pieces, flipping every few minutes until nice and golden brown. It should take about 6-8 minutes per batch. Don’t overcrowd skillet
7. Drain chicken on a dish with paper towels as you cook the rest of the chicken
8. Enjoy!

Chick-Fil-A uses peanut oil to fry their chicken. At Erb family wellness we recommend avocado oil, olive oil & coconut oil as better alternatives especially non GMO & organic ones. Chick-fil-A’s 8 count nuggets have 1210mg of Sodium (Salt). This recipe is a healthy alternative if you can’t get enough Chick-Fil-A and are trying to have a healthy lifestyle without giving up the taste!

These literally taste almost identical!

*Pair with unsweetened organic ketchup or siete chipotle hot sauce. Or venture out to make your own advance plan ranch!
