Since being invented in the 1960s, chicken nuggets have grown to become a mainstay in
American cuisine. Not all of them are created equal, though: if you want to know how to
avoid nuggets with mysterious crunchies and serve up only the best, we've got you covered.
Unless you want a home full of unhappy people, keep Target's Good & Gather Chicken Breast
Nuggets out of your home. Not only do they smell terrible, they manage to taste even
worse.
You will first notice something is wrong when you're heating up these nuggets and you see
a puddle of grease emerge, along with a revolting aroma. Go in for a bite, and you'll be left
with a mouthful of disappointment. Instead of the chicken nugget flavor that you know
and love, these things taste like you're eating a sponge that has sopped up rancid grease.
Do your household a favor and keep these nuggets of misery out of your shopping cart.
On paper, Gardein Crispy Golden Chick'n Nuggets look like a great choice for the vegans of
the world. Not only are these nuggets certified vegan-friendly, they have 14 grams of protein
per serving and can be ready in less than 15 minutes. Created with a blend of wheat
and pea protein, they look like genuine, honest-to-goodness chicken nuggets.
Tragically, all hopes and dreams will be dashed as your taste buds tell you that they're virtually
flavorless. When you sink your teeth into the rubbery texture, you'll be thoroughly
disgusted. Unless you think chewing on a shoe sounds like a fun way to spend your evening,
stay away from these non-chicken nuggets.
Add these chicken nuggets to the list of Great Value foods you should stay away from at Walmart.
Take a look at the reviews of Great Value Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets, and the horror
show will be enough for you to be convinced that you should never buy these things. Customers
report finding everything from bones to feathers in their nuggets, and that's a surefire way
to wreck your mood.
Even if your Great Value nugget is free from both bones and feathers, you still won't be
happy. These things are still a soggy, strange-tasting mess even at their best. Bottom line? Don't
go for the Great Value chicken nuggets. You'll live to regret it.
"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think, 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would,
I do not do that thing."
You can find gluten-free versions of all your favorite foods these days, and while you can
definitely locate scrumptious gluten-free chicken nuggets, Ian's Gluten Free Breaded
Chicken Nuggets are not those nuggets.
Surprisingly, the biggest issue with these nuggets isn't the breading where the gluten
has been removed. The most dire problem is the fact that the chicken has the texture
of toothpaste. It tastes like regular chicken, but you'll be grossed out by the texture.
The breading on Ian's Gluten Free Breaded Chicken Nuggets is not exactly pleasant, but
you could live with it if it weren't for the paste-like chicken in the middle. Look elsewhere
for gluten-free nuggets that are worth your hard-earned dollar bills.
From the outside, Fast Fixin' Chicken Breast Nuggets look beautiful. If you crack a nugget
in half to inspect it further, you'll see perfectly white meat in the center that has
no shortage of juices. Sadly, if you judge this book by its cover, you'll be let down.
The fatal flaw of Fast Fixin' Chicken Breast Nuggets is the breading. These nuggets have
breading made from whole wheat, which in itself isn't a deal-breaker. However, the breading
has an overpowering whole wheat flavor and a slightly sweet aftertaste. Sure, you may
like to dip your nuggets in a sweet dipping sauce, but you should have control over it.
Raised & Rooted Plant Based Nuggets don't bury the lede when it comes to stating what's
unique about these nuggets. If you're following a plant-based diet plan, you'll be happy to
learn that these things are made with a blend of golden flaxseed and pea protein. If your
idea of chicken nugget perfection is Chicken McNuggets from McDonald's, you'll be even
happier when you see that Raised & Rooted Plant Based Nuggets are a dead ringer for
McNuggets. Put them side by side, and you literally can't tell them apart.
Unfortunately, the beauty of these nuggets is only skin deep — or breading deep, in
this case. Take a bite, and you're met with flavor that is entirely bland, which makes
these nuggets impossible to recommend.
Member's Mark Chicken Nuggets might have things like price going for them, but you will be
unsatisfied with your selection if you purchase these store brand Chicken Nuggets. First of
all, they're made with a combination of chicken breast and rib meat, which has a negative
impact on the flavor. It tastes like the low-quality chicken nuggets you used to get at the cafeteria
of your school. The meat is juicy, but the quality is obviously lacking. Furthermore,
while the thick breading is enjoyable at first, eventually, dealing with all that breading
becomes a chore.
Foster Farms Breast Nuggets: let's start with the positives. Taste-wise, these things hit
the spot. The chicken is flavorful, and the breading only adds to the fun. From nugget
to nugget, the consistency is impressive. You won't find a deformed nugget in the bag,
and each one tastes exactly the same.
That said, Foster Farms Breast Nuggets don't deserve a seal of approval due to the crumbly
texture of the breading. At first, you won't care. But after a while, the number of crumbs
that descend onto your clothing will surely be annoying and downright messy.
If bang for your buck is one of your leading concerns when you're shopping for chicken
nuggets, going to Aldi and purchasing Kirkwood Chicken Breast Nuggets isn't a bad idea. While
you can find better nuggets, these things are solidly average. Factor in the low price
tag, and they do become tempting to buy.
The best thing about Kirkwood Chicken Breast Nuggets is that they get satisfyingly crispy,
especially if you cook them in the oven. Their great texture makes these a perfect choice
for dipping, but there is a catch: the chicken lacks moisture. For that reason, you won't
want to skip the dipping sauce if you buy these nuggets.
If you want to get your fingertips on a unique nugget, look for Bell & Evans Breaded Chicken
Breast Nuggets. These things are a bit odd compared to other nuggets — but don't be
surprised if you become a fan.
The first oddity you'll notice is the fact that these things are labeled as uncooked,
which means they'll take just a little longer to prepare than your typical nugget.
The second weird aspect you'll notice is the thickness of the nuggets. That's not a bad
thing, mind you, but you'll have to work to fit these bad boys into your mouth.
If you can deal with those two odd attributes, your taste buds will enjoy the fact that these
nuggets are made with actual pieces of whole chicken breast and that the breading is perfectly
spiced.
Perdue Foods is one of the biggest names in the poultry industry, and their chicken nuggets

100 percent vegetarian diet and live a cage-free life. They also say that no antibiotics and
no hormones are used. When it comes to these nuggets, Perdue says there are no preservatives

The news isn't all good, however, as the breading on Perdue Chicken Breast Nuggets is too salty.

be even better because you don't need to worry about them coming into contact with anything
else when you're heating them up.

Don't be confused by the name or their shape, because Trader Joe's Chicken Drumellas definitely
qualify as chicken nuggets. Yes, the shape of these nuggets isn't what you're accustomed
to as they're meant to mimic a drumstick, but it doesn't impact that flavor at all.
If you dip your nuggets, don't worry about these things being too large to be dippable.
They're just the right size.
You'll be pleased with every aspect of these nuggets. That said, keep in mind that Trader

Tyson is a behemoth in the chicken industry. They are the largest processor of chicken
in the United States. When it comes to their nuggets, they can't be topped — as long
as you know which ones to buy. While Tyson Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets are the easiest
to find, the ones you want are called Tyson Fun Nuggets.

that because the best part of Tyson Fun Nuggets is the chicken. The meat is all white, super
