hello everyone this is running on empty Food review well hello ladies gentlemen
and everyone watching welcome one end all to this newest edition of The Running on
Empty Food review series I'm your host to the report of the week thank you for checking in
well to address the elephant in the room if the lighting is at all a little iffy
understand that we are just dealing with something that the sheer enormity of it this item what
I'm trying to say is such a massive release it generates its own light source so I'm only able to
work with what I've got because this is big news KFC has done the unthinkable they have transformed
a base so to speak I.E chicken into something that before today was inconceivable
something upon which I mean I I had never thought such a thing was even possible
imagine if you took chicken
and you cut said chicken into smaller pieces and then you read it and fried
those smaller pieces of chicken and you presented them as a new creation called a chicken nugget
that's a million dollar idea isn't it and I'm it's it's never even occurred to me but it occurred to
KFC because they are now premiering these things that are called chicken nuggets on their menu they
are just released and I'm going to be trying them yeah admittedly I was I'm in a bit of a sarcastic
mood today but uh it is surprising that these are actually a new release from KFC chicken nuggets I
think you just assumed that every place that sells chicken would have some form of chicken nugget but
a KFC I think they've released these before maybe I'm getting it mixed up but I swear they've had
chicken nuggets before anyway they are back they say they are 100 white meat chicken and you can
get them in a variety of sizes you can get a five piece an eight piece a 12 piece and a 36 piece
the price you can get them individually so I just got the five piece without any sort of side I got
it five dollars or actually my apologies I got the numbers mixed up five dollars for an eight piece I
got the eight piece of the Nuggets today and it's five dollars for an eight piece of the Nuggets
that was my mistake I'll get rid of that now and uh if you want to get the Nuggets you could also
get them with a variety of dipping sauces so uh I decided to get these nuggets with some honey
barbecue dipping sauce but yeah really they're just basic chicken nuggets uh sometimes you
don't really need to to make some sort of fancy intricate item for it to be good so we'll see how
these are the Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets is what they're called they come as you could
see right here in their own exclusive packaging with the kernel there giving you the Death Stare
Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets 100 white meat its Finger Licking Good says the Box
ordered pickup so ordered on the app it says Buffalo Ranch KFC sauce barbecue honey mustard
Ranch sauces so it's promoting the different dipping sauces upon which you can dunk these
let's take a look let's see what we have
there they are the nuggets
they look well seasoned
crispy too definitely well seasoned in their layer
take one out here you can get a close-up view thereof
yeah crispy you could see the seasoning on it
there's the little nugget appendage dangling
there's another view of it
appearance wise so far so good and you could see in terms of size from nugget to uh
tie knot comparison now you can get an accurate understanding of the true size of these
with that said let's try them out not really much else to say about them so let's just try them out
see if they're any good or not then I'll uh dip it in the honey barbecue sauce take it from there
all right the Kentucky Fried Chicken Nuggets from KFC let's see how good they are they're going in
did you know that chicken nuggets can actually be found in space
and generally speaking they will travel in clouds throughout space generally around the Sun
but sometimes and it all depends but every couple hundred years usually you'll get a
cloud of nuggets so great in size that for a brief time as it as it transits the Sun it is
able to actually block out the sunlight I can't even say this with a straight face on uh on Earth
and they call that a solar eclipse
in a silly time waster there all right I'll
dip this in the sauce as well try it out then I'll give a full assessment
foreign
with essentially a basic assessment because again remember what I said
at the beginning of this review sometimes an item doesn't necessarily need to have
all sorts of bells and whistles it doesn't necessarily need to have 10 different sauces
and this act and the other ingredient sometimes you could have a basic item and that Simplicity
is what really makes it and I am pleased to say that these chicken nuggets from KFC
are good they are enjoyable and I think KFC I mean they I'll tell you what
KFC based at least on the the recent reviews I've done of some of their items
KFC has been doing good lately and I have been experiencing a consistent quality from their
establishments and I have been to a variety of KFC restaurants and every one of them has
provided quality in terms of the item that I am trying out and that to me is a very good sign
because when I tried out the wrap from KFC about a month or so ago that was good
the Double Down I guess I was also about a month ago a novelty but it was good too and
these nuggets I am also pleased to say are good as well yeah they are good very flavorful they're
juicy they're tender and as you could see in the cross section it's not like these are 90
breading with a tiny little bit of chicken there instead it's the other way around you could see
it's mostly chicken and it's good quality at that it tastes good it's flavorful it's juicy
but still despite it not having tons and tons of breading on the outside there is just enough
that it's able to give it that little bit of a crisp and crunch which is just a nice
little balance it's able to offset it it gives it some nice texture as well
and I just like it it's flavorful it tastes good easy to eat as you could see it's not
like these are all rubbery and chewy it's not like they're burnt it's not like they're so uh
crispy or anything that you feel like you're gonna break your teeth or anything at all I
think that they struck a good balance here and I would say as far as chicken nuggets go
both visually and what I can see in terms of taste what I would compare the KFC chicken nuggets to
is the Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets that seems to be the approach that
they're taking because when I saw these immediately that's what I was reminded of
now I will say I still think that Chick-fil-A's chicken nuggets are slightly better then KFC's
but I will say it's actually pretty close for chicken nuggets they did they did a good job
here I've seen so many chicken nuggets or these places were just it's 90 breading they took the
cheap route they're just giving you more garbage that they're going to charge an arm and a leg for
Etc where they're just going to put this inedible slop in front of you and tell you you know eat up
here you go this is our new product and uh there's so many places these days that take that approach
it's just nice to see KFC they decided no we're actually going to author a quality product here
we're actually going to offer some decent tasting chicken and we're not going to take the the cheap
exit ramp here we're actually going to go for it and the commit to giving a good quality item so
that's good to see the price you know it's a fair price these days I would say again about
five dollars for an eight piece of these but at the very least they taste good and honey
barbecue sauce I think is a nice accompaniment as well it just adds a little bit of sweetness to
it contributes to the flavor as well I will say though that I think these nuggets are flavorful
enough that they hold up well on their own the sauce is not necessary but I will say that the
honey barbecue that nice little sweetness that it adds definitely contributes positively to the
overall eating experience so therefore out of 10 KFC's nuggets yeah they're good I mean we haven't
done anything bad to say about them it's fast food don't forget that but all things considered
I think that they're good either as a snack or as a meal I'm happy with them so as a result I'm
going to be giving the new Kentucky fried chicken nuggets from KFC and 8.8 out of 10. it's not that
I have for you thank you for watching and until next time I'm your host David poet of the week
