What are Chick-Fil-A Chick-n-Minis?

Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis are delicious mini chicken sandwiches served up during breakfast hours. They are the original bite-sized nuggets that are thrown on a honey butter mini roll and served up in a box. They are extremely popular and a unique and delicious Chick-Fil-A breakfast item.

Why are Chick-fil-A chicken minis so good?

Well, if you like crispy chicken, rolls and the sweetness of honey, when you combine them, something beautiful happens to your taste buds. They are portable, bite-sized snacks that nearly everyone enjoys.

What kind of oil do I use?

You can use peanut oil, olive oil or even vegetable oil. Just make sure anyone you are cooking for, doesn’t have an allergy to any of the ingredients including the oil.

What is the best sauce to eat Chick-n-Minis with?

I personally love the Chick-Fil-A Polynesian Sauce but their Honey Mustard Sauce and signature Chick-fil-A Sauce is good too!

Can I make these in the air fryer?

Yes! You can air fry these at 360 degrees for 7-8 minutes (check the time on your air fryer to ensure this timing is correct). Ensure your nuggets are cooked by checking if the internal temperature of chicken nuggets is at least 165 degrees F. Keep an eye on them to ensure you don’t burn them.

How to Make Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Minis

In a large bowl, combine the Flour and Powdered Sugar, and stir until well blended.  Set aside.

Place the Milk, and Pickle Juice in a bowl, stir, and set aside with the Flour mixture. 

On a cutting Mat, place the Chicken Breasts, and sprinkle with the Salt and Pepper.  Cut into Nugget sized pieces. 

Place the Oil in your Deep Fryer, or in a deep heavy bottomed Skillet, and heat on Medium High, until hot. 

Place the Chicken on the Mat, the bowl of Milk mixture, and the Flour mixture close to the Deep Fryer or Skillet. 

Dip the Chicken Nuggets in the Milk Mixture, and then in the Flour.  Place a few of the Dipped pieces on a large slotted Spoon, or Fryer spatula, and lower them into the hot Oil. 

Fry for about 8 – 10 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown. Drain on paper towels.  Continue until all the Chicken Nuggets have been cooked.

While you’re frying the Chicken Nuggets, heat the Dinner Rolls.  Follow package directions.  When Rolls are heated, remove from the oven, and place on a heat proof surface. 

In a small dish, place the Butter, and Honey, and heat in the microwave until the Butter is melted. (About 30 seconds)  Stir to combine, and brush the Honey-butter on the tops of the Rolls.

When all the Nuggets are cooked, cut the Rolls in half, and place a Nugget on each half of the Rolls. Serve with BBQ Sauce, Honey, or other favorite Dipping Sauces, and your favorite sides. 

Enjoy!
