People: “Josh you can’t recreate Chick-Fil-A nuggets” Joshua: Here hold my homemade beer

As someone who breaded and cooked Chickfila chicken for like 3 years this is actually pretty close!

Great recipe, did not add mushrooms, as I didn’t have on-hand. Chicken had a great flavor and I believe it tastes better than chick fil a. Fried in several batches because I only had olive oil and used a small pan so I didn’t waste a lot of oil. Husband and 3 year old devoured them, he said it was the best chicken I’ve ever made. I also cut the recipe in 1/4 and found it was perfect for about 22 pieces of chicken. I don’t like wasting a lot of batter and food, so I didn’t want a ton of leftover throw away food. Try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed.

I can't cook hardly at all. First time breading and frying anything. Used this recipe, and even with a couple subs for ingredients I didn't have (breast in stead of thigh, garlic powder for mushroom powder at 1/4 the volume, smoked paprika in stead of sweet), the nuggets turned out nearly IDENTICAL to Chick Fil A. I'll be doing this repeatedly until I can do it from memory, and impress the everliving hell out of my friends.

3:13 and that's why they teach u wafting in chemistry.

Most chefs mark their plastic containers with useful information. Joshua: *c:*

Ok so a few observations I had after making this -The sauce came out awesome and was delicious - The porcini powder turned the breading, when cooked, very dark (no, I don’t burn them) - Overall, the chicken in my opinion was lacking flavor. I stuck to the recipe, didn’t add anything or take anything away. Love the videos...I’ll take any feedback I can get.

I’m a breader at chick-fil-a and this is by far the most accurate representation of Cfa nuggies. His breading (we call it coater), milk/egg wash, and chicken seasoning was 100% accurate. We TOTALLY use MSG in the chicken seasoning AND breading lmaaaaoooo

"you're more likely to get ligma than to be harmed by MSG" Pure gold there.

you know why your show works, cause the recipe and process is what makes the food taste better through the camera, and its true. Everything you make is fire, and I could smell it through the video. keep it up man.

Flour Dredge 2 cups (295 g) - all-purpose flour 2 teasps (7 g) - salt 0.5 teasp (2 g) - MSG 1 teasp (11 g) - powered sugar 2 teasp (21 g) - garlic powder 2 teasp (6 g) - sweet paprika Sauce 5 Tablesp (88 g) - mayo 1 clove garlic, pressed 5 Tablesp (77 g) - bbq sauce 1 Tablesp (16 g) - Dijon mustard 1 Tablesp (16 g) - yellow mustard 2 teasp (8 g) - Shoyu

“175 Arnold Schwarzeneggers running over this single person.” ‘kay.. i don’t get it but i definitely feel it

He should let random people on the street taste-test and pick between his version and the original

made these with an air fryer and they came out perfect. you can even skip a few steps like the egg/milk wash and breading your chicken twice after the cure. 1.5 cups of flour instead of the full 2 is plenty as well

Made this recipe today. Delicious , my kids loved the nuggets. Sauce was nice too. Subscribed and will be trying more recipes. Many thanks from England.

1:55 T-HI-C-C-FIL-L-A

Cwispy, nuggies, my pleasure- Is this what we call... a man of *culture*

For anyone on the fence about making these DO IT they are amazing!

just made this tonight! FANTASTIC!!!! that sauce is on point!!! Thanks Josh!!!

Challenge: out pizza the hut

Child: mom can we get chic fil a Mom: we have chic fil a at home Chic fil a at home: Child: :)

My favorite video to date just because it’s about recreating chick fil a nuggets. 😍😍😍😍 thank you for teaching me how to do it myself. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

You make dishes achievable. And everyone wants that. RESPECT!!

One of my favourite quotes ever was from a documentary about food: "The food industry would have you believe they're better at cooking than you." All you need is to know the process and have the equipment, and you can make better.

Went to chick fila, wife is pregnant. She was disappointed in the flavor of the chicken. Hours later, I made this for the wife. She loved it! She said it’s the best chicken she’s ever had. Thank you Josh! Keep up the good content!

Love the editing - it's hilarious!

I woke up today wanting to finally binge watch But Better and dang it... I have a major crush now.

I cook at home regularly. The only thing they can beat you in is time...and it's literally the only reason I'll go out anymore because while I can make almost everything cheaper and better at the house, restaurants can throw food on a plate for me and 5 friends in less than 20 minutes. Spectacular video!

Person 1: its "milk" Person 2: no its "melk" Josh: Mealk

Made this for my family and I have to say they were truly Amazing! Thank You

SOOOO Delicious! This recipe has become a family favorite! Thx for sharing :)

In a badass tough voice Joshua: *"Don't challenge me"*

Kid: Dad can we go Chick-Fil-A? Joshua as a mom: no, I make better at home

god bless bro, amazing to see another texan (let alone one from houston) do amazing things love your channel g

ive seen some of your videos before, but idk what it is, but ive seen so many this week. keep up the work.

As someone who's currently living in South Korea and has no access to Chick-Fil-A chicky nugs - thank you for this. Planning on making these for my fellow chicky-nug-withdrawal-having American friends :') Also, as a former Texas resident, pls do some Whataburger food next. Preferably a honey butter chicken biscuit, but I'm not picky.

1:07... “how p l e s u r a b l e was it for you reallly??” 😂😂😂

Josh, your personality is fantastic... Caught this just scrolling by... Glad I came. Keeping them coming ....

I freaking love your video man!!! You should recreate a MRE. I hated those when I served.

Everyone: "You can't recreate Chick-Fil-a chicken nuggets!" Josh: "Oh, are you approaching me?"

I CAN FINALLY HAVE THEM ON SUNDAY

My pleasure was the "thank you" of Chobits, so it's INGRAINED in my soul

Somehow lost Joshua in my subscriptions but now he's back and I'm subbed in an instant!

“you’re more likely to get ligma than to be harmed by MSG” you sir have earned my subscription

“You’re more likely to get ligma” best quote ever

Well done! First time I've ever even heard of you, and you have 5m subs? What ever have I been missing out on?

Ill try this recipe looks deli👏😍Thank you for converting ur measurements from grams to tbsp or cups.. Thank you so much joshua,. With love from Philippines 🇵🇭😍

Joshua: “Nah,we got food at home.”

you gotta love the way he says "cwispy"

You know what else is my pleasure? - Binging watching your videos! :)

Just made this tonight. The nugs were fantastic without any sauce! BUT, that chick fil a sauce was the $hit!!! Holy cow, so good! My wife and kids all loved it Too! But better!!!!

Everyone: you can't recreate Chick-fil-A nuggets Joshua: I see you've chosen death Edit: wow didn't expect this to get so many likes. Thanks guys😂😂

suggestion: "CWISPY" or "KWISPY" on a tshirt.

Great chicken nuggets! Made them myself. Everyone was a happy camper.

I didn’t add the mushroom but it still tasted just as good !! Loved this recipe 😊

I love how he’s talking smack on all those Karen’s who are crazy against msg 😂

I like that you're really starting to lean more into your confident side. You're being a bit more silly as of late which is creating a fantastic complexity for your channel. Keep it up!

For the record I have brined them in pickle juice for a few hours and they and the chicken patties came out great!

I am SO proud to say I already made my nuggets like this before I looked you up 😭😭 Win for me

People: “Josh can’t recreate Chick-Fil-A nuggets” Josh: You underestimate my power.

4:25 “whisk all that together, then flex on Chick-fil-A” I died laughing at that

Planning on making this for a family meal along side your homemade arby's curly fries recipe and your homemade authenic sushi hand rolls recipe. I'll make it a dinner they won't forget.

I worked at Chick-fil-A for the summer in 1996. It's a fast food restaurant that has unfrozen chicken in the back which looks like it came from the grocery store. They bread the chicken and juice actual lemons to make lemonade. They just generally use fresh ingredients (frozen french fries though) and keep everything very clean. For a fast food restaurant that is extraordinary. I worked at McDonalds the next summer and had a VERY different experience.

Stop flexing on having ingredients I don't have

here is the written recipe :) Chicken nuggets Ingredients you'll need: The cure: 1.5 pounds’ chicken thigh 3 tbsp (32g) kosher 1.5tsp (7g) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) 3/4tsp (2g) sugar The Dredge: 2 cups (295g) all-purpose flour 2 teaspoon (7g) salt 1/2 teaspoon (2g) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) 1 tablespoon (11g) powdered sugar 2 tbsp (21g) garlic powder 2tsp (6g) sweet paprika 1/2 cup (10g) dried porcini mushroom powder 2 eggs 1 cup (235ml) whole milk Chick Fil A Sauce: 5tbsp (88g) mayo 1 clove fresh grated garlic 5tbsp (70g) barbecue sauce 1tbsp (16g) Yellow mustard 1tbsp (16g) Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons (8g) shoyu (smoked shoyu) Salt to taste PROCEDURE The cure: 1. Add the salt, msg, and sugar in a bowl and whisk that together 2. Cut the chicken thigs into bite-size pieces 3. Place the chicken on a tray and generously season it with the salt mixture 4. Then place them in a plastic bag and let sit in the fridge for at least 30 min or overnight for more flavor The Dredge: 1. add the flour, salt, msg, powdered sugar, garlic powder, sweet paprika, porcini mushroom powder and whisk them all together 2. add in a separate bowl the eggs and milk and whisk them together 3. put the chicken in the dry the wet then dry batter again (in bunches) and make sure to press down on the chicken to not have wet spots Frying: 1. take a medium-sized pot, then add three inches of oil or three-quarters full. 2. start heating it at 325f or 160c 3. while preheating mix the mayo, grated garlic, barbecue sauce, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, shoyu, and salt 4. once reached at the ideal temperature in batches fry them from 3 to 5 min or until nice and crispy

This recipe looks amazing. Thank you so much for all your recipes. Your garlic bread recipe is still one of the best things we have ever made. My sister is allergic to mushrooms. Is there anything we can use besides Dried porcini mushroom powder?

I feel like, if you please Joshua with your cooking/food you've won in life and that's facts.

When he coughed cause he inhaled the spice trying to smell it... I felt that

Well it took you to long to see the comment so i changed it good luck

Love this with our farm raised chickens we butcher ourselves! Going to make some thighs and legs tonight with this breading.

This is my favorite video on the internet rn Idk why

5:10 so dry, doesn’t even have the juicy juicy squirt squirt. The police were called

This is great... I love Chick Fil A nuggets but they always come out too fast when I order them... Now I can spend a whole day making them!

I made this recently. It turned out great, but I did have one issue with the recipe as written. It feels like the cure volumes could be precise to the amount of chicken. I mistakenly added all the cure to the 1.5 lbs chicken. Later it dawned on me that 3 Tbsp was a crapload of salt for 1.5 lbs of chicken. I rewatched that part of the video and see that only “some” of the cure needed to be used. I salvaged this by adding another lb of chicken and 86ed the rest of the salt in the recipe. It worked out fine, but again, it seems like it would be easy to just write the recipe to use all the cure. Nuggets were great and since I had 2.5 lbs of them, I froze them and that worked great. In fact, if I ever do this again, I’ll certainly double or triple this and freeze the extra!

Wow, looks amazing!!

I just made these tonight. I've been trying to cook for my wife more, so I reached out here. Your instructions were perfect, and the outcome was delicious. Thank you for making these fun to watch.

Does anybody notice then whenever we're not watching Joshua, we stay in his cabinet?

I used this recipe but still did the pickle brine because yuuumm. I am not good a frying yet, but I really liked the flavor of this!

Ughhh these look so good I can’t eat their nuggets cuz of a peanut allergy but now I can make them at home 😊

As a chemist myself, I appreciate Josh explaining MSG! MSG is truly our best friend in cooking. I love a guy who cooks and appreciates science!!!! Nice vid, Josh! Also, can we just talk about how he includes metric measurements in his videos? YES.

Everyone: writing comments about Joshua being being a badash cook Me: *squints* did he just crack two eggs at the same time, literally single handedly? *respect.*

Awesome! I love chic-fil-a, but anytime I can save money and make it myself, why not!

Thank you for making me laugh out loud after grinding the mushrooms .... Who hasn’t done that?

Nothing like watching a professional chef with years of experience dominating fast foods

THANK YOU for defending MSG. There were a couple documentaries about how the hate for MSG stems from xenophobia.

The man is a mad genius to take on the chic and question and try and improve their sauce.

This guy is a critic.... probably what makes it easy to recreate the dishes

5:10 I did not know Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets could make siren noises.

My gf: I want chic- fil-a Me with the knowledge acquired from this video: *hold my choccy miwk* House: *burned*

On a Sunday I will need this the most

This for some reason is like the only but better i havent watched

"No you wont...cause that's not real..." ded.

Y'know, I'm starting to feel like Josh has something against Chick-Fil-A. Edited Edit: mmm yummy nuggets

I made some of your stuff and honestly It all taste f**king awesome. thank you for your lessons

This is the only one of these where I think I'd have to taste them for myself before I just give you the W lol

This man has the same energy as Michael Reeves, but with food

2:36, Joshua looks like a child playing with sand

When he filmed the Chick-Fil-A nuggets while having the siren in the background, I cracked up!!!! THE SHADE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just made these, and holy shit, this guy knows what hes doing
