Just in case you missed the news last August, Sam’s Club now sells southern-style chicken bites that some fans say taste like just like Chick-Fil-A’s famous chicken nuggets.
If you don’t have a Chick-Fil-A branch near you, crave them on a Sunday when the retail warehouse chain is not open or simply want to have them in your freezer at all times, the nuggets (pictured below) appear to be a decent rival to the real thing.

“They are legit and taste exactly like chick fil a and I’m happy with the result,” Cook wrote alongside several images of the delicious chicken nuggets.
Plus, at only $9.98 for a three-pound bag, it’s also a pretty good deal!

You don’t even have to be a Sam’s Club member to run into the store and buy them.

Made with 100% solid white meat chicken, the nuggets are covered with a light, crispy breading that has a hint of dill for a touch of pickle flavor. Yum!

The recipe comes from Passion for Savings and even includes a second recipe for their famous dipping sauce.
Aside from chicken and other obvious ingredients like an egg, milk and flour, you’ll also need dill pickle juice, powdered sugar and peanut oil.
Cut the chicken breasts into small bite size nugget, and place them in a zip-lock bag with the pickle juice. After allowing them to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, drain the pickle juice, and toss the chicken with the egg/milk mixture. Also mix with flour, powdered sugar, paprika, salt and pepper.
Fry them in a non-stick pan or, if you really want a crispy nugget, cook them in an electric deep fryer.

Simply mix half a cup of the honey mustard dressing with one teaspoon of the BBQ sauce and half a teaspoon of the apple cider.
