Copycat Chicken Minis Recipe
These buttery little chicken minis taste just like the drive-thru version, only made at home with a few simple freezer staples! Perfect for brunch, meal prep, or feeding a hungry crowd.
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.
