Pistachio Chicken Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different nut?

The sweet/salty flavor of the pistachios is what really makes this recipe great. I do not recommend using a different nut. If you want to make homemade chicken nuggets, try this recipe.

How do I know when my chicken is done?

I suggest using an instant read thermometer so you know when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F and you can be sure they are fully cooked.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, this recipe is easily doubled or even tripled to serve a crowd.
