hello everyone this is running on empty food review i kind of did a little bit of a reverse
finger swipe today but why not because this is actually a fairly special review i know we're just
really i guess i say that in every single video but we are getting into it right now um because
this is not just any sort of ordinary chicken nugget review no ladies and gentlemen as a matter
of fact this is this is the the battle of the chicken nuggets or whatever you want to call it
this is a head-on comparison though three types of spicy chicken nuggets and i want to tell you why i
waited this long to do that because i know spicy nuggets are a big favorite of a lot of people who
you know they go out they get the fast food the spicy nuggets right the spicy nuggets
are back they got them this place has um that place has um you know spicy nuggets raining
down from the sky one day all these all these things people talk about when it comes to them
they are favored by a lot of people and finally mcdonald's has released spicy chicken nuggets
wendy's has had them for a while i think they had them continuously for about the last year but i
know they've had them the longest and burger king kind of brings them back here and there
they're on the menu now but mcdonald's they've never had spicy nuggets before believe it or not
but they really hyped this one up they i think they even said a few months ago they're going
to be introducing spicy nuggets to the menu they are here now and that's why i wanted to wait and
say okay we're just going to try the big three and we're going to see which one is the best
mcdonald's though you know they have had a very busy month i will tell you that this
whole year they really haven't done any releases except for the double big mac which was like in
in march i think february or march um but now here in september they have just done one
release after the next after the next and it's been exciting you know the travis scott meal of
course and now they have the spicy nuggets out as well so that's why we're trying mcdonald's so
often because it's just been a very busy month for them um but it is interesting i personally
like spicy nuggets they're a favorite of mine so it is going to be interesting now i'm not
going to sit here and pretend like i've never had spicy nuggets before i've actually reviewed
the wendy's ones like four times i've tried the burger king ones four times but i've never had
the mcdonald's ones before so i'm going to do a review of the mcdonald's nuggets and then we're
going to just compare it to the other two i've also got some dipping sauces mcdonald's has their
mighty hot sauce right because it's mighty hot burger king has their buffalo sauce and wendy's
has their creamy sriracha sauce and as a little bit of a teaser i know i i'm just that guy um
in a future review actually coming up just just letting you know i think i am going to do a video
where i'm going to find out what uh what dipping sauce is the best one from all these fast food
establishments now anyway just a little bit of info on the mcdonald's nuggets which are right
here we'll show it to you in a minute uh they were released this week um again it comes with
the mighty hot sauce and um i believe the uh the spices on this include cayenne and chili peppers
a six piece of the nuggets here was a three dollars nineteen cents the wendy's nuggets um
a four piece of these was a dollar burger king six piece for a dollar so burger
king was the cheapest they actually gave me eight for like yeah i don't know maybe they didn't count
but uh they were very nice there but uh six piece for a buck four piece per buck six piece for 3.19
uh actually so that's what it comes down to these nuggets are uh are warm i went out and
i got them and of course it's a little bit of uh you know you go from one to the next i did heat
them up though as you can see in this glorious beautiful cut scene very high production value
we did heat them up so they're all good they're all set and ready to go so uh let's put these to
the side and let's just look at the mcdonald's ones okay so let's get a close-up view of them
all right there they are uh they look like the chicken mcnuggets tell you the truth but they
have more of an orange hue it's not actually just the camera the lighting that's doing that
they are more orange in color they're pretty large i'll tell you that and they look like they're
a little crispier too like the standard chicken mcnuggets i mean they got the same shapes you know
this one kind of looks like a boot or something and you know you can see though they are crispier
they're crispier and they have more of an orange color to them just to show you for comparison
this is what the wendy's nuggets look like again they all kind of have this more orange hue to them
but again this has the real black pepper on it whereas this one
you know doesn't and then the burger king ones let's take a look at that
those are really orange right there and those look you know again you could really see the see the
black pepper on those so that's what they look like just interesting for comparison but again
the mcdonald's ones are the biggest actually the mcdonald's ones it's interesting to see that the
mcdonald's they're the largest ones like the the size of one of these mcdonald's ones that's
almost as big as like two of the burger king ones which is just pretty interesting to see
so anyway we know what's on the mcdonald's nuggets i'm going to try it out and then we're just going
to quickly try the other ones so the brand new spicy chicken nuggets from mcdonald's going in
i'm going to try out the mighty hot sauce as well
what was interesting also a little bit of an interesting observation is that the most aromatic
ones meaning the nuggets that i could smell the most were the mcdonald's ones um by far i got it
i got to tell you right now as i'm eating the mcdonald's ones
they're they're actually spicier than i thought they would be to say the truth
i mean by a good by a good margin i know for a fact i've had these two before and when i eat them
oh yeah they got a little bit of spice they're not overwhelming at all um but usually i could
eat these without really having to go for the water right away i have to tell you the
mcdonald's nuggets have a definitive spice to it and these are probably the spiciest ones honestly
we're going to try it with the mighty sauce now which um i think also is cayenne pepper
based so again you can see kind of there it is with the sauce we're going to try that
i think a good explanation for the spicy nuggets from mcdonald's well i should go for more water
i guess i'm not totally in focus am i there we go
you know i got to say these are like the chicken mcnuggets in terms of size in terms of taste in
terms of quality we know that the the chicken mcnuggets from mcdonald's aren't the world's
highest quality nuggets they're not gourmet nuggets you know they just are what they are
really all the flavor in these is what's in the batter it's what's in the breading
after all the spices you bite in you do get a bit of a crunch to it right away these are all
a little more on the crispy side um but gosh that's spice especially the cayenne pepper
that's what you could really tell the chili pepper is flavorful too but gosh they pack a punch
they really do these are spicier than i thought they would be and i would recommend
either get water um get a cool drink or something because i would definitely say these are spicy and
i guess you probably need a bit of a drink for uh as for the mighty sauce i mean what do i have to
say about that the mighty sauce use it if you want honestly i don't think they need the sauce to tell
you the truth i really don't think that they need the mighty sauce they're spicy enough as is and
the one thing i actually noticed when i was trying it out with the mighty sauce it actually gets a
little overwhelming it's almost like there's too much cayenne pepper so it gets it gets potent
i'll say that it gets potent i don't know if i'd really use it with the mighty sauce but i would
say get it i mean that's what it comes with but that's just that's just my two cents right there
all right we know all about these we're just going to try these out extremely quickly
um these are the wendy's nuggets right
there
a little more meat to it as you can see by no means nowhere near as spicy i'll tell you that
like these i can totally stomach just as they are i'm gonna try it with the creamy sriracha sauce
i mean definitely i think the quality of the chicken for the wendy's nuggets is better
but they're not as spicy they're not as spicy and that's one thing that i need to
you need to understand when it comes to these spicy nuggets why are you getting
them you want a little bit of spice if you want just the chicken get the chicken nuggets
so that's something to consider then for burger king all the nuggets right in there
we're going to try that out now these are getting the ones that are very very orange almost red
i'm actually going to wash my pallet out and take another bite
this is a creamy buffalo sauce
again very similar to the wendy's one so i will say the actual the quality of the meat
there's more meat again in the burger king ones in the wendy's compared to the mcdonald's ones
but the burger king ones the meat actually isn't this flavorful it's actually a little more on
the dry side and again even with the creamy buffalo sauce it's not as spicy so final thoughts
the mcdonald's ones are bigger all right the mcdonald's ones are the biggest
they're the spiciest everything is in the breading they have a little bit of a crunch
but i would say that the meat quality of the nuggets is highest in the wendy's ones
and then lowest quality meat is in the burger king ones uh spice wise again mcdonald's is
the spiciest second spiciest i would probably say would be the wendy's ones followed by burger king
so of the three burger king is definitely in the last place as a matter of fact when i gave these
um nuggets a review burger king i rated 8.1 out of 10. i think they're decent you know they're very
very inexpensive they're good for what they are it's like a little bit of a snack you know you're
out you're out with the boys as they say and you know you want something to eat at 3am or something
some real cheap nuggets you know go ahead and get the burger king ones i gave that an 8.1 out
of 10. wendy's nuggets higher quality a little bit a little bit spicier you know definitely
um again decent quality decent price too i gave that an 8.6 out of 10. so where does mcdonald's
stand it's definitely higher quality than the burger king ones the issue
is okay mcdonald's are the spiciest but wendy's has better quality meat so what's the best one
mcdonald's i would have to give it an 8.8 out of 10. it's a close a very close first
sorry i just had to reset that i was running out of time uh it is it is a close first because
again quality of the chicken itself is higher at wendy's but we have to remember this is about
the spice these are spicy nuggets that's why you're getting them you're getting them yes for
the chicken nuggets and of course the quality of them is still decent they're of a good size
but the one thing you have to remember we're getting them for the spice right don't just
rate the chicken nuggets because oh you know the meat is a little a tiny tiny little bit better at
this one than that but it's not really as spicy you're getting it for a decent product but also
for that spice and um mcdonald's by far uh by far is much much spicier than um than the other
two maybe even combined it's the only one that i really needed to just go for the water right away
and uh get yeah it's a little pricier you have to remember that but i think you're going to
probably get your money's worth you're still getting a good amount of nuggets
again very spicy though i'll say that so you want spicy nuggets you want to try them out they're
pretty good for what they are and they really do pack a punch and that surprised me a lot of these
items they say they're the spiciest in the world but they really aren't uh these on the
other hand were way spicier than i thought them to be so that's why i like the mcdonald's ones
the best the other ones are still okay but mcdonald's definitely wins this time around
and with that that's all that i have for you ladies and gentlemen i'm your host the
report of the week and uh today we tried out the mcdonald's spicy nuggets and compared it
to wendy's and burger king's spicy variants i'm done confabulating for now and see you next time
