Calories by count
Chick-fil-A Nuggets are bite-sized pieces of chicken breast, breaded and pressure cooked in peanut oil, in an 8, 12, or 30 count. Each nugget has about the same calories, so the number rises with the count. A 12 count has 380 calories and a 30 count has 950. These numbers are for the nuggets alone, and each dipping sauce adds its own. Chick-fil-A lists every ingredient and allergen on its Nuggets page.
