The kid in all of us loves chicken nuggets. What could be better than a crispy, crunchy shell over hot succulent chicken? This recipe reminds me of Chick-Fil-A, only better…since it contains no gluten and is low-FODMAP!!
Your children (and you) are going to be so excited by my low-FODMAP Chicken Nugget recipe. You are going to want to make this dinner again and again. Easy and so good!
Try these with my super low-FODMAP special saucefor dipping. Goes perfectly! Or another family favorite of my low-FODMAP Macaroni and Cheese 🙂

Kid’s Favorite Low-FODMAP Chicken Nuggets; Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Although this recipe has not been tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunky cubes
- 3/4 cup low-FODMAP milk (lactose-free or almond for dairy-free version) mixed with 1 teaspoon vinegar
- This creates low-FODMAP ‘buttermilk’
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup low-FODMAP gluten-free flour (I used Authentic Foods GF Classical Blend- my favorite low-FODMAP flour)
- Check out my bake off blog for this flour’s results in baking tests!
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Generous amount canola oil for frying (or other preferred oil)

Directions
- Set up 2 bowls
- Place egg and low-FODMAP milk/vinegar in one bowl and beat
- Place flour and seasonings in second bowl
- Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, then flour mixture, then repeat again
- In a medium sized saucepan, pour the oil so that it is about 2-4 inches high
- Heat oil on medium-high heat
- Place chicken pieces in oil
- Shake the excess off each piece of chicken and carefully drop in the oil when it is hot enough, letting it fry for about 8 minutes or until crispy.
- Repeat for all chicken nuggets, you may have to add additional oil depending on the amount you use.
- Once they have been fried, place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to allow the extra oil to drip off
- Serve immediately
- Dunk in this low-FODMAP Special/Secret Sauce– or else try my recipes forlow-FODMAP (no)Honey-Dill, or low-FODMAP Barbecue Sauces

Do you know if I could you make this in a air fryer?

Hi Heather,
Thanks for the question! We do not have an air fryer, but our research suggests that food like chicken with a liquid batter coating does not work well in an air-fryer as the batter drips off. We worry that these nuggets would have the same result, so we do not recommend this method. However, let us know if you try it! Have a great day.Reply

I realize I am two years late to the party BUT I made these and they were fabulous! I only had vanilla almond milk on hand, so I was a tad worried that the nugs would be weirdly sweet, but you couldn’t even tell. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Would these be good made on Sunday and reheated and put in a kids hot thermos for lunches ? Make again during the week and repeat

Hi Tiffany,
In general, we don’t find that chicken nuggets do well when reheated in the microwave, or left for a while in a thermos. The breading will become too moist and soggy, and the chicken can become tough. A better choice may be low-FODMAP Macaroni and Cheese, low-FODMAP Sloppy Joes or low-FODMAP Chili. Good luck!Reply
