We tried chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's — and the winner is clear (grilled, bread)

Chick fil A does have nice nuggets, but McDonald's nuggets will always be my favorite. That crispy exterior and juicy inside with a bit of fat will never be beat.

Who has the best chicken nuggets? - Business Insider

The chicken nugget was created by a food scientist at Cornell University more than 60 years ago.

Since then, the breaded pieces of chicken meat have become a part of nearly every fast-food menu.

McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Chick-fil-A each have their own approach to the chicken nugget, and we set out to find which chain does it best.

I'm more a chicken sandwich fan than chicken nugget, but this caught my attention:

It's the classic McNugget, for good or bad. We'll take it — and not question it — at $4.99 for 10 pieces.

Here, $4.99 is the price for a TWENTY-piece. It's on their "Dollar Menu & More."

Chic fil A uses real chicken tenders. That would be my preference. Processed, molded chicken nuggets hold little appeal at least for me.

Grilled chick-fil-a nuggets

The best!

I doubt a chicken would be insulted by what passes for a Chicken nugget at MacDonalds.
Best chicken Nuggets IMO are home made, however in a pinch Churches makes a good Chicken nugget.https://fastfoodinusa.com/templates/...der-strips.png

chick fil a just does it best all the time in my impression> yes, they use real chicken tenders and that does make a difference. they are not processed. I will add I am not a fan of chicken nuggets period. When I want chicken, I want a real piece like a thigh or breast.

Interesting conclusion, OP. I tried McDonald nuggets recently, and I thought they resembled eating a cardboard box.
I would bet on chic fil a, since their fried chicken sandwiches are so good- #2, but I haven't tried the nuggets.

It's that separated at birth thing again, nita.

But I'll take Church's fried chicken anytime, preferably legs and thighs. Bojangles is a distant second.

I'm not going to fall for the click bait and just type Chik FilA. Just chicken chunks. I'm pretty sure the others are just formed chicken byproducts.

I can't trust McD because the nuggets still looks like chicken spam. I can't see the chicken meat fibers like I can see on Chick-Fil-a then I assume there are additives used to bind the meat or it's compressed together and preformed that way.
