Frequently asked questions
Can I use leftover Chick-fil-A® Nuggets for this recipe?
Yes! This recipe is perfect for giving leftover nuggets a second life. Just make sure they’re reheated thoroughly when simmering in the sauce, so they come out hot and tender.
Can I substitute the pineapple with something else?
If you’re not a big fan of pineapple, you can skip it altogether or replace it with a different fruit like mango or mandarin oranges for a different sweet twist.
How can I make the sauce thicker or thinner?
To thicken the sauce more, dissolve additional cornstarch in a little hot water and stir it in gradually. To thin it out, simply add more water or pineapple juice until you reach your desired consistency.
