Chic Fil A Chicken Sandwich Recipe - That They Don't Want You to Know!!!

Hey everyone! I am starting a Chic Fil A series where I show you how to get as close as possible to Chic Fil A. The difference between my videos and the rest on youtube, is that I match the ingredients listed on Chic Fil A's website. This is the inside scoop on how to get the CLOSEST sandwich possible to Chic Fil A. There was many months of trial and error perfecting the ratios of ingredients to get this one right.

Here are the links to their training videos:

We tried this recipe today and we all couldn’t believe how amazing it tasted. I felt like we were eating at Chick-Fil-A. People on here saying they changed the recipe a little PLEASE DON’T! This guy knows what he’s talking about and he did his homework. Follow this recipe exact and it will taste amazing! I repeat DO NOT add pickle juice to the recipe unless you’re wanting it to not taste like Chick-Fil-A. The pickles on the sandwich give it the pickle flavor you guys are thinking it needs.

We have no Chick Fil A here and this is wonderful and satisfied my craving!

This is, hands down, the best chik fil a recipe I have ever had. Game changer and insanely easy to do. Thank you!!

[Christian-osms]

I tried this recipe today with my son. The result was so amazing! Thank you!!!

I really loved the nuggets
they are awesome. I really wanted Chick-fil-A yesterday so I made these they’re so good.

In an earlier post I mentioned I made this by your recipe and did a blind "triangle" test with my son.
This weekend I took your recipe and modified it some.
(Anyone gullible enough to believe the CEO is truthful on paprika only, bless your heart)
I reduced the sugar by 1/3 in the brine, and used 1/2 milk 1/2 water. Before the egg wash, in a shaker, I made a mix of 1 tsp Ground Thyme, 1 tsp Ground Rosemary, and 1 tsp oregano. I sprinkled the dry chicken with the above mix. Then, with what was left over, I put it, and the same ingredients as your recipe in the breading, then followed the same steps as your guide.
I made some for my son's birthday (on Sunday) as appetizers. Everyone said they were way closer than your original recipe we 1st tried .**Not 💯 unmistakable from Chick-fil-A but really close.
I'm still working on tweaks now and then.

What I really want to know is, can you make this on a Sunday?

[RockTheCage]

I made this a couple days ago. The only change i made was to marinade in plain pickle juice instead of the marinade he uses and it was the bomb. We have a a chick-fil-a 10 minutes from me and i've never thought it was THAT great like people act like its the best thing since sliced bread. (good for fast food but thats about it). This was SOOO much better. I'm in love. I will continue to make this & thanks for posting it. I would definitely recommend the change i made (pickle juice brine).

Me and my son love Chick-fil-A we eat there twice a week ❤ thank you for sharing that video

[jcrispy]

Has anyone else made this recipe? Because every youtubber says it tastes just or very close to Chick fila--who is right and who is wrong?
but I made chipotle chicken from cooking with Chris and it was really good, but I never had the chicken from the restaurant.

[FishingWithVon]

Tried a lot of different recipes that claim to be identical to chic fil a . This recipe is by far the best.

[chandrilldickerson]

My chicken was already sitting in pickle juice before I saw this recipe but it turned out amazing. We loved it, it was just like the real thing!

[georgenettlesjr]

I haven't tried it yet but I almost surely believe it.😊

[starwaIker]

This recipe helped me make the best fried chicken sandwich! And I attempted many recipes that didn't quite hit the mark. The only difference I did was marinade it overnight and include some of the spices. From my own preference, I prefer saltwater brines. The chicken is a lot more juicer when compared to other marinades. I know the rumor is the company uses pickle juice in their marinade but all I get is pickle flavored chicken. Not my preference. This recipe is the best way to go!

[BillVol]

Great lesson. Probably the best I've seen.

[mkryu]

I always suspected they brined their chicken in pickle juice so I tried it and it was actually surprisingly good, but not quite that Chick-Fil-A flavor I was hoping for. I will definitely try your recipe now!

[CookingwithAnadi]

I’ve never had chick fil a before but I do love a good crispy chicken sandwich. They’re my favourite. Loving everything about this and seriously craving it now!

[yourshyness]

Thank you definitely trying the recipe!

[fortune]

Even thickest better even cook I love it!!

[DavidSmith-iutn]

Tried it as he prescribed and then with pickle juice. The pickle juice brine resulted in the sandwich tasting like pickle juice. The recipe in the video is better and pretty dang close to Chick-fil-A.
