Chick-fil-A Nuggets + Dipping Sauce

This recipe is so easy and a huge hit at our house. I usually pair the nuggets with some broccoli or raw veggies.

We are on the go a lot immediately following school, this is one of those recipes that’s easy to throw in a bento box and head out the door.

I usually marinate the chicken in the milk and egg mix in the morning and prepare the dipping sauce. I then fry up the chicken right before the kids get home from school.

This also makes a great dinner for the entire family… WARNING! The nuggets go fast so make sure you cut up enough chicken!

Also, my recipe calls for peanut oil… it makes them taste like the real thing. If you have a peanut allergy in your house, that’s easy to substitute!
