I think it tastes just like their honey roasted barbecue sauce. Speaking of dip, I like to mix honey mustard and BBQ sauce for these Chick-Fil-A grilled nuggets and chicken of all kinds. The baked chicken tenderloins I mentioned above use this time and temperature, as an example. ![]() Or if you’d rather bake them, I’d start with 400✯ for 15-18 minutes directly on a baking sheet. You could pan fry the nuggets over medium heat for 6-8 minutes with a splash of olive oil or cooking spray like my pan fried buffalo chicken bites.

The broil function is one of my favorite things about the Instant Pot and Foodi.

If you do, you probably didn’t drain the diced chicken well enough. You shouldn’t have any clumping or loose seasoning in the bowl. A little moisture is okay here since you won’t be adding any oil. You want to drain the chicken well, but you don’t need to pat it dry like instructed for my recently published air fryer chicken tenders. Step 2: Drain the chicken and season with powdered sugar, black pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and garlic powder. You could also add some fresh citrus juice like in my air fryer Greek chicken and potatoes, though that will alter the flavor profile a bit. If you don’t have pickle juice on hand, you could swap it for a little vinegar and broth or something else pickled like jalapeño peppers. I like the idea of buttermilk like in my spicy baked chicken tenderloins or crispy buttermilk pan fried chicken breast recipes. I went with skim milk, but you could use any type of milk here. Still, I’d encourage you not to skip the pickle juice and milk bath. That means more flavor in every bite, making a marinade a little less vital for flavor. The beauty of diced chicken (or any meat) is that you get so much more surface area for seasoning to latch onto. Step 1: Soak diced chicken breast in pickle juice and milk for 30-60 minutes.
