Why is it that Chick-fil-A cravings seem to hit the hardest on Sundays, the only day the fast-food chain is closed? These copycat recipes allow you to get your fix any time, any day. From the classic Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich to the nuggets and more, every Chick-fil-A obsessive will surely appreciate these recipes that are just as good as — if not better than — the real thing. Just pick up some Chick-fil-A Sauce (or 20), and you're good to go.
The classic Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich has such a distinct taste, and it's all because of the secret ingredient: dill pickle juice. The chicken breasts are brined for at least six hours in a mixture of pickle juice, pepper, and sugar, which gives the chicken that juicy finish and salty, tangy bite.
Just like the chicken sandwich, Chik-fil-A's famous nuggets have pickle juice incorporated into the seasoning. Transform plain-old chicken breasts into these golden, crispy nuggets with just a few pantry staples.
You're doing yourself a serious disservice if you've never made it to Chick-fil-A before 10:30 a.m. for breakfast. The fried chicken biscuits are buttery, flaky, and crunchy, and this copycat recipe takes all the best things about them but uses healthier ingredients instead.
If no one told you these "chicken" nuggets were made of tofu, you'd probably never guess. Dredged in cornstarch, spices, and yes, pickle juice, these bite-size nuggets are crispy and satisfying.
