Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is running on empty food review
I am your host the report of the week a
Truly momentous day
Ladies and gentlemen, I mean it is incredible
This is one of those releases one of those one of those times where I have I've really been anticipating this
It is it is a blessing
Wendy's has brought back
Their spicy chicken nuggets. I
I can't help it. I mean it's incredible to me. It's incredible anyway, because this is one of those rare times
where
You have a fast food item that like you really like right and I'm sitting there
I'm I'm going there I'm chomping down at it. I'm getting them, you know in droves and
I
Think some of you know how this was
Years ago when these were on the menu
It wasn't just a snack
Wasn't just a meal. Well, just something to eat or something to do
Ladies and gentlemen, it was a way of life. I
Think you know what, I mean?
So you could only imagine how I felt that one
terrible night
When I found out that they discontinued them and I remember I was in the parking lot there
Yeah, I almost had tears in my eyes to be honest. There was like it was a loss
I'm ever sitting there as it kind of staring in my lap for
Who knows how long?
I'm ever sitting there and I was thinking to myself I just wish I could step outside right now
Look up into the into the heavens and see a couple nice noctilucent clouds or something to to ease the pain
Alas there weren't so I just had to live with it
And it was until recently
When I was checking the Wendy's Twitter
And there's a glimmer of hope
You know granted at first. I thought that it was like a marketing scheme a marketing gimmick, you know the way it is
Where they said? All right if our post
Gets 2 million likes
We will release
The spicy nuggets. Once again, we will open the floodgates
Unleash them and you can have at it
and
Unbelievably the post got to 2 million likes very very quickly. Should I add and
Sure enough
They're back
Wendy's release them just yesterday
I went I procured them and I got myself a 10 piece of the spicy nuggets. You can see them right there and their little
Nugget containment device the spicy Nuggets. They're they're chicken nuggets but spicy
Very similar to the spicy chicken sandwich. What has that breading and that black pepper?
Spiciness to it. All right, you can see right in there. They are
Now I don't know if this is like a subliminal message or something
You saw that I had to get it in there best eaten
between
bites of bacon
And I don't know what those
brown
tubular
Lines are exactly. I don't know what that's supposed to symbolize. I don't even want to really think about what this is supposed to
Resemble, but there you go
Alas there are no bacon bytes or bits as they sometimes say but we do have
Spicy nuggets you can see right there. You can see the black pepper
Flakes. Actually, I'll take one out and hold it up in that that that close-up
View of it right there
Here we go
The one and only, you know, you've had other fast food chains they've tried to fill the void but just wasn't
You know, it didn't replicate that flavor. I remember back in 2017 Burger King tried to release their version of it
It just wasn't the same, you know
So anyway, I'm just I'm really glad to be honest that they got these back. I'm gonna try them out
I'm gonna see what they taste like and you know if it's a case
I hope but there is good as they originally were. Again. This is like a personal favorite of mine
I would get these all the time
so hopefully it'll still match up to that original quality and
We'll just have to see but that's that's my hope anyway
But look if it's disappointing and if they're not as good I'll let you know though, you know, I'll say the word
All right. I got a 10 piece of these for three dollars and 94 cents though, if you aren't hungry boi
now that's of course the boi
Derivative like I am you actually can take advantage of a little bit of a deal you can get a six piece nuggets
Using the door - service free of charge. It's only for a couple days
but if you want to go that route go for it and
free nuggets will arrive at your
edifice
All right. Well, we know what they look like, you know what you know, what's in them?
There's another view of it. You not sure I'm just gonna see what they taste like
I'm gonna see if they're spicy if they're good
It doesn't taste like as one may describe their Twitter account
straight fire
Or visit more on the blender side. That was so bad. We'll find out
Anyway, I honestly I'm just looking forward to this to be quite honest the spicy nuggets spicy chicken nuggets from Wendy's
Rereleased they're going in
McDonald's surveillance team
That simple hand gesture
It's all that really needs to be said, you know, I
like them
I mean, they're just as good as I remember it now for those of you that were saying what do you mean?
What are you what are you trying to express by?
lifting this appendage
Kind of upward not really. It's you know, no more like at a 45 degree angle
What does that mean? It means they're good
It means they are as good as I remember them
and again
This is coming from someone that this was my favorite item from Wendy's and when they got rid of them
Then I would always get the spicy chicken sandwiches. I mean I kid you not
last night I
Went over there and I got the spicy chicken
Sandwiches just because that's what I always get from Wendy's and now that they have these back
this is what I'm gonna be getting again because
They're delicious. That's all that I can say, you know
When astound just coming back they're just as good as they were
So, let me let me sum it up real quick for you if you like these
When they are on the menu, you're gonna like them now because these are good, you know
They're just like they were I mean to would tea and you know, it makes me proud of Wendy's to be honest
They not only brought this item back
But they didn't mess around with the recipe. They didn't fix anything, you know, cuz that's how it should be
They kept them the way that they were
exact how we like them and
They're just as good as I remember him. I'm very pleased. I'm very pleased
Yeah, they're good they got that crispy coating a little bit of a crunchiness in each bite
The meat is still you know, look it is what it is for a chicken nugget though. It's not bad
You can definitely taste the chicken meaty flavor a little bit of juiciness there too. I really like that crunchiness though. It's got that breading
That crispy fried outer layer and it's got that classic black pepper spice
That was my favorite part of it
It's there gives you that spice on contact and then that spicy aftertaste that I still feel right now
Not too much, but not too little it has that it's just these are my favorite spicy nuggets
I'm I got to tell you the truth. I'm just so glad they brought these back. I mean, I am really really pleased with them
on the spot
Easily eight eight point six out of ten
Well-done Wendy's that's all that I can say. Well done. I mean, I'm just I'm proud
That's all that I can say. You guys did good
I
Didn't know you can get it
with a variety of
Dipping sauce. I really don't think that it needs any though. I
Really don't like that that's spice. It's just flavorful enough that it holds its own
I'll just see how the sweet and sour goes with it though. And
then after this
I'm gonna wrap it up. You wouldn't believe how warm a day it is today. I'm out here
I wanted to wear a jacket or a sweater, but I just couldn't the heat index is 107 degrees today
I'm actually kind of building up a little bit of a sweat, which is very very rare
National Weather Service, issuing a heat advisory, but I'm still out here trying them. It's just
They're good. I gotta say it's worth sitting out in the heat. I don't recommend it
It's not good for you to sit out in this extreme heat, but it's worth it cuz these are just really good
I got it. Like I'm just impressed. That's all I can say
If you want to go with the sauce get the sweet-and-sour a
Little bit of sweetness. It possesses actually complements it pretty well. So I got him
I gotta say it's actually a good accompaniment and with it. That's all that I have for you
I'm very very pleased if you were a fan of the
Spicy chicken nuggets from Wendy's go get them while they're getting this good because you're gonna enjoy him. I really enjoyed him
I think you will too and take advantage while it is still here. That's all that I have for you
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm your host the report of the week. Thank you and take care. I'm gonna be feasting on these now
