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.
So...uh
You know, another example of compelling advertising.
The whole reason why I made it over to Burger King today,
and it's not even the finest of days weather-wise.
Maybe you can see it's kind of like
I'm in a middle of a void or something like that.
Thick overcast, you know, thunderstorms possibly severe all over the place,
but Burger King's advertising campaign made me say
"You know what, I could get struck by lightning and killed that doesn't matter.
I got to get these nuggets."
That's compelling advertising right there.
Because I saw this picture wasn't even a commercial this time.
It was a picture. That's the sheer power of advertising.
Where they had the Burger King king,
sitting there with that smug grin on his face,
holding up this plate of of these spicy nuggets.
And I mean these nuggets,
they must have had the most steam emanating from them,
that I had ever seen in my life.
I mean I'd never seen such steamy chicken nuggets before.
It was incredible.
It's like the whole airspace around him
just had all this this steam from the Nuggets right?
It was incredible.
And just seeing that, seeing how fresh they made these things look.
I said I gotta have these; I gotta try them;
I gotta get them, and I got them.
So these are Burger King's Spicy Chicken Nuggets.
Now price-wise it actually is a good deal.
Actually is a good deal, I'll be the first to say it.
I'm probably not the first to say it.
I'm sure other people have said it before me.
But it is a good deal.
Where you can get 10 of these nuggets for $1.69.
I think that's a pretty good deal.
And they come in the spicy nugget pouch.
So you can see all the spicy nuggets resting in the spice nugget pouch right there.
And I'll take it out for you,
and you can see it in all its spicy nugget glory right there.
There it is. That's what a spicy nugget looks like.
There's another view of it.
That's like this is the first time they've ever brought these back.
They've actually had these in the past.
It's kind of a reoccurring thing
where they'll bring it back a little bit,
then they'll take it away from the consumers,
and then they'll bring it back again,
and they'll take it away and so on and so forth.
But this is done,
I feel kind of like they've really been going hard on Wendy's for some reason.
Where recently they did the spicy chicken sandwich to compete with Wendy's.
And now they're, you know, doing the Spicy Nuggets
because Wendy's got rid of theirs - too much protest a while back.
So now Burger King.
Hey, they're the one with the spicy nuggets.
All right anyway I'm just gonna try it out.
It might be a bit laconic about these
because they're spicy and they're nuggets,
and might not be much else to say.
But who knows, so I'm gonna try it and I'll let you know what it tastes like.
So it's the Spicy Chicken Nuggets from Burger King, going in.
You know, Burger King...
Let me put them here...
Gonna eventually try it with the dipping sauce for the heck of it.
Burger King, their prime.. they are prime contestants...
in the ideology of...
go hard or go home.
There's no middle ground at Burger King.
That's a fact.
When they make something,
that's either gonna be all the way good,
or it's gonna be absolutely terrible.
They...
That's their ideology. There's no such thing as middle ground - it doesn't exist.
So it's either gonna be delicious,
or it's gonna be the worst thing you've ever eaten.
And they did good with these quite frankly.
They did and I enjoyed them.
I thought they were good for what they are.
They're very crispy nugget, you know.
You get nuggets from different fast-food establishments.
You can get all kinds.
You can get the ones that are just...
That are just kind of soggy and have been sitting there for a while.
You get the ones that have a little bit of breading.
And then you get the ones that are really crispy and crunchy.
And these are crispy nuggets.
They're crispy, they have a definitive crunch to them,
but the inside is still a bit tender so to speak.
So in terms of that, in terms of how they are, you know, texturally,
really, how they taste pretty good,
chicken quality don't expect them to be the highest,
because it's Burger King.
But the chicken quality is similar to that of the chicken fries,
so you know, for comparison.
And in terms of the spice level. They are spicy.
That's not like it's, you know, burning hot,
and my tongue is gonna detach itself from my mouth
and roll around on the floor of the car 'cause it's just that spicy.
Rather, you know, it has a little bit of a baked in spice. It's in the breading,
no sauce or anything that makes it spicy,
but it's there, you might need a little bit of a drink.
I got Burger King ice water today,
to cool the flames, to quench the flames.
And the spiciness it's there.
Spiciness is there,
it's manageable though,
but I think a drink would be a good accompaniment
if I were to to just give my own assertion.
But honestly I know I tried using the past.
I enjoyed them then, I enjoy them now.
They did a good job with them,
and I thought to myself,
I know I wasn't gonna have a lot to say on them.
I knew that for a fact.
Why not just try them with some sauce so here I am,
trying to get the sauce open.
Gonna see, they said it goes well with any,
they said any of our sauces.
I said I wonder how their barbecue sauce would taste at these.
I got plenty of time.
Let's try it out.
See how is the taste of the barbeque sauce.
This is a good cross-section actually.
You can see all the breading right there,
so they are heavily breaded and very crunchy.
The barbecue sauce goes with them all right.
I'm not gonna say it's the perfect match because it isn't.
But you know it works.
Honestly, I think these Nuggets could be fine without any sauce.
Quite frankly because they do have that...
baked in spice that is pretty potent
and that's really the main thing you can taste
But you know for what it is it works.
So out of 10 what am I going to be rating the Spicy Chicken Nuggets from the Burger King?
I'm gonna be given these an 8.2 out of 10.
I think it deserves them.
I think they actually did a good job with these.
I'm not disappointed, especially you know,
I really missed the ones from Wendy's.
They did a good job kind of being as a replacement for those.
So you know, I think they did a good job with that,
so that's the rating there.
All right on a final note in that I'm gonna wrap the video up.
I got the newest VORW Radio Show out. soundcloud.com/vorw_radio_int

Just a few days ago, I kind of talked about that.
