Genuinely baffled by the nutrition value of Chick-fil-A nuggets
Can anyone recommend a way to cook something similar at home?

>Genuinely baffled by the nutrition value of Chick-fil-A nuggets
Here's an explanation to un-baffle you. The nutrition values they publish are fake. Nobody checks and they know it. The FDA does not verify nutrition facts of made-to-order restaurant food and fast food restaurants take advantage of that.

>>21817362
no, chicken nuggets are exclusively owned by fast food restaurants, don't even try to make them yourself, just pay someone else to make them for you.
>>
>>21817380
this is an interesting point. checking just the calories would require a bunch of lab equipment and a degree I assume. not even sure what the process of figuring out the macros and everything else in a food product is but surely it’s impossible to just buy some fast food and check it all yourself?

30 nuggets for 950 calories sounds good until you realize how much sauce you would need for 30 nuggets. Would easily push you pass 2000 calories. You could raw dog them and eat them with no sauce but where’s the fun in that.

imo sauce feels weird in my mouth

You assume wrongly. Just needs a bomb calorimeter and a triple digit IQ.

vinegar based hot sauce has 0 calories per liter

I use olive oil and not even a large amount, you don't need to dunk whatever your frying in order for it to fry

I just get tenderloins, chop them up into cubes, bread them, and bake them until they're cooked but not crispy. Then I keep them in the freezer and reheat them in the air fryer.
They're my 2 year old's favourite food.

It's the brine. Soak in buttermilk the night before frying. The only downside is this forever ruins your palate. You can never go back to eating unbrined chicken. It's platos kitchen.

I bet you think a diet of cellulose is nutritious. Combustion reactions don't account for bioavailability.

Chick-Fil-A's chicken nuggets are whole meat. They're more like mini chicken tenders than nuggets.

Ironically their tenders are bad
