COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A CHICKEN NUGGETS

Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets image

I developed this recipe to copycat Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets. I knew I had a winner the first time I made them because the whole family fought over who got the last one! For a dipping sauce, combine barbecue sauce and Dijon mustard, then stir in honey to add some sweetness. -Jeni Pittard, Statham, Georgia
