When transferring nuggets from milk wash to coater, what is the correct procedure regarding the milk wash?

The correct procedure regarding the milk wash when transferring nuggets to the coater is to drain the milk wash completely. This is important because the excess liquid can interfere with the coating process. If the nuggets are overly wet from the milk wash, the coating may not adhere properly, leading to uneven coating and poor final product quality.

Completely draining the milk wash ensures that the nuggets are coated evenly and allows the breading to stick effectively during the frying process, contributing to the desired texture and flavor. This step is crucial in achieving the signature Chick-fil-A nugget quality that customers expect.
