Ingredients
Just Bare Chicken Bites - I highly recommend using these as they taste EXACTLY like Chick-Fil-A!
Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough - the chicken bites are wrapped in strips of this buttery crescent roll dough and are the "buns" of the chicken minis!
Butter - this is the base of the mixture that is brushed on top of the chicken minis.
Worcestershire - adds a savory flavor to the butter mixture.
Brown Sugar - these add a sweetness to the glaze of the chicken minis.
Dijon Mustard - the dijon balances out the brown sugar.
Step by Step Instructions

Expert Tips
Prep Ahead - you can prep these ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake.
Easy to Double - this recipe is super easy to double. I usually make a single batch, which makes 20 chicken minis and is a great portion for myself and the kids. If I want a larger batch, I simply use two 8 ounce cans of crescent rolls, 40 chicken bites, and I double the butter mixture.
Storage - store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat in the microwave or (my favorite) the air fryer. Simply pop in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes.
Recipe FAQs
Essentially! They're very similar to pigs in a blanket, just using chicken bites and also brushed with a delicious brown sugar and mustard glaze.
We love the Just Bare Chicken Bites, which I find at Costco. Costco has a similar product under their own brand and many other brands of chicken nuggets would work, too.
Nope! These are baked for 25-30 minutes, which gives the chicken nuggets enough time to get hot all the way through.
