Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a medium bowl, combine the dill pickle juice and whole milk. Add the chicken pieces to this brine and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken pieces on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is lightly charred.
Remove the grilled chicken nuggets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the soy-free Chick-Fil-A style grilled nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces or side dishes!
