<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This marinade brings out the flavors reminiscent of Chick Fil A's signature nuggets but with a homemade twist.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor absorption.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the grill. Do not discard the marinade.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Grill the chicken nuggets for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until nicely charred and cooked through. While grilling, you can brush the nuggets with the remaining marinade to keep them moist and add an extra layer of flavor.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Once cooked, transfer the grilled nuggets to a serving plate and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring your nuggets are moist and flavorful inside.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Garnish the grilled nuggets with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces such as honey mustard or BBQ sauce, for the perfect grilled treat.
