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