Brine the chicken. If time allows, I always recommend brining the chicken so it’s juicier and thicker. Let chicken cutlets sit in 1 quart of cold water, ¼ cup of kosher salt, and ¼ cup of sugar mixture for 30 minutes to an hour.

Add more or less spice. To make it a spicy deluxe, just add more cayenne. However, if you are making it for kiddos, you can just skip the cayenne.

Fry right after breading. If you let the breaded chicken sit for long, the breading will become soggy and won’t crisp up very well.

Always deep fry it. To make it as close as possible to Chick-Fil-A, you will want to deep fry the chicken. If you want to shallow fry the chicken, it will still work but won’t be super crispy. You can also Air Fry the chicken like I did in my Air Fryer nashville hot chicken recipe.

Keep warm in the oven. While frying other cutlets, place done cutlets on a wire rack and place in the oven to keep warm. But make sure you’re using an ovenproof wire rack that does not melt in the oven.

Add more deliciousness. To make this sandwich even tastier, add bacon, extra cheese, or even 2 cutlets of chicken per sandwich!

I saw a review that said use powdered sugar. Is that what's supposed to be used or just regular white sugar? A while back I ran across a CFA nugget recipe that did call for powdered sugar. So glad I ran across your recipe because that first one was AWFUL. *Maybe it shouldn't have used powdered sugar. Lol. Thanks

This recipe is excellent and very close to the real thing. I think using peanut oil really makes a difference. I cut back the marinating time to 1/2 hour based on the previous review and used dill pickle juice. We had our first Chik-Fil-A when driving through PA - there are none within 100 miles of our home. We went out of our way to stop because we had heard so many things great things about their food and their American values. We all loved the food and the polite staff.

Very close to Chik Fil A's recipe. Look no further. Thank you!!! First time I made this... we only had 4 people and I had a TON of nuggets. Not even one of them managed to get saved for leftovers. :((( I suppose that's a good thing. Definitely worth it and will be making this many more times! Great for a party. Excellent with Ranch!

I loved it! So close to the original too. Next time though I am going marinate it under an hour to lessen the pickle taste, but still good.

My husband had been wanting Chik-fil-A, but we refuse to eat there anymore. He also recently had to begin eating gluten-free, so eating fried chicken is usually out. I substituted the flour in this recipe with a gluten free all-purpose flour mix and the basil and oregano with 1 tsp total of italian seasoning, and the chicken came out very close to Chik-fil-A's. I don't like their chicken, but my husband was very excited to be able to have a gluten-free version of their original chicken sandwich, and he said it tasted almost like theirs. Thanks for a good recipe!

HAVE to use dill pickle juice and powdered sugar. And a healthy dose of fresh ground pepper in the marinade.

These nuggets came out good. It doesn't taste like chic fil a, but still good. I made nuggets, didn't use the MSG, and used vegetable oil instead of peanut oil. I will be making these again.

Instead of DILL pickle juice, try using Bread and Butter pickle juice. The sweetness the really the key factor. So yummy!!!!!!

This is really a great recipe. One of the closest I've found to the real thing. I did substitute 2 1/2 T powdered sugar for the 2 T of sugar and fried in canola oil as that is what I had on hand. Hands down the pickle juice marinade makes this recipe.

How is Chick

In our own kitchens:.

We dip the chicken in a milk-and-egg wash (just like Truett's mom taught him as a boy)..

Then, we bread it by hand..

Finally, we pressure cook the chicken in 100%, fully refined peanut oil for a juicy flavor..

What is the secret to Chick

But don't just take it from me — this is the (not-so-secret) secret that's fueled the love affair so many people have with Chick-fil-A. It's the pickle brine! Well before being fried to perfection, the chicken breasts are brined with pickle juice for super-juicy, tender meat.
