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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 6
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the grilled chicken nuggets from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the soy-free Chick-Fil-A style grilled nuggets with your favorite dipping sauces or side dishes!
