A single 100g portion of Chick-fil-A's Chick-Fil-A, 12 Chick Fil A Nuggets delivers approximately 382 calories, placing it in the light meal range for items typically found on the Chick-fil-A menu. Nutrition information on this page is sourced from the USDA Branded Foods dataset, which catalogs label data submitted by manufacturers for the US market.
