Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Sister Schubert’s yeast rolls frozen
  • 16 frozen chicken nuggets Just Bare preferred
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions
 

  • Bake the Sister Schubert’s rolls according to the package instructions until soft and golden brown.
  • While the rolls are baking, cook the chicken nuggets in the oven or air fryer until crispy.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the honey to make the glaze.
  • Once the rolls are down, brush the tops of the assembled minis with the honey butter mixture.
  • Lastly, carefully slice each one open and place a cooked nugget inside. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Any brand of crispy nuggets will work, but Just Bare gives the closest flavor and texture to Chick-fil-A.
  • You can use maple syrup or brown sugar in place of honey if preferred.
  • For best texture, keep an eye on the rolls and avoid overbaking.
  • These are great for meal prep! Store in the fridge or freezer and reheat as needed.
  • To keep warm for parties, try using a food warming mat or place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
