• poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and dried oregano.

For Assembly:

• Vegetable oil for frying
• One package of Sister Shuster’s Parkhouse Style Yeast Rolls, cooked as per package directions

How to make Chick-fil-A Chicken Mini’s

Marinate the Chicken:

Whisk together buttermilk, buffalo sauce, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and oregano in a mixing bowl—season with Salt and pepper.

Immerse the chicken cubes into the mixture, ensuring an even coat.

Cover and let the flavors meld in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight for best results.

Prep for Frying:

Blend the flour, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and oregano in a separate bowl. This will be your crispy coating.

Heat about 1″ of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook that Chicken:

Drench each marinated piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated.

Fry each side of the chicken cubes in the hot oil for approximately 4 minutes or until the breading mixture is a beautiful golden brown. Inside, the chicken should register at 165 degrees on a meat thermometer to be fully cooked.

Once fried to perfection, let the crispy chicken drain and remove excess oil using paper towels.

Assemble the Chick-n-Minis:

Slice open each yeast roll and nestle a piece of fried chicken inside.

For an added layer of flavor, combine melted butter and honey, then delicately brush each dinner roll with this sweetened honey butter mixture using a pastry brush.

If you’re going for the full Chick-fil-A signature flavor, serve with the optional copycat dipping sauce.

Yield: 15 delightful chicken minis will have you skipping the drive-thru and heading straight to your kitchen!

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I use another type of roll? Yes, though Sister Shuster’s Parkhouse Style Yeast Rolls have that easy-to-open fold that works perfectly with this recipe, feel free to experiment with other types!
• How can I reduce flour waste? If you have a lot of leftover flour, use a little less than the recipe suggests next time, or use the shake-and-bake method with a bag.
• Can I freeze them for later? Absolutely! Just ensure they’re cooled and freeze them individually on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag.

Easy Tips and Flavor Variations:

• Add an extra dash of chili powder to the marinade for a spicier kick.
• Don’t rush the marinating process; the longer the chicken nuggets soak, the more flavorful they’ll be.
• If buffalo sauce isn’t your thing, try substituting it with your favorite BBQ sauce or honey mustard.
