This will be a very long review, if you dont like reading skip to the bottom. I rate these Nuggies as the best grocery store nuggies ever! they easily compete with restaurant quality. First off for those of you who dont know what chicken nuggets are... they are the remnants of chicken when whole chickens are processed. They add salt %26 seasoning along with oil %26 water, mix it into a paste %26 usually cook it %26 then bread it. these shards of chicken are undesirable in any other form, thus the invention of chicken nuggets. These nuggies are no different than the legal definition of a chicken nugget anywhere else.
McDonald's has the best restaurant chicken nugget around according to most people. the main reason for this title is the breading. McDonald's has a tempura styled breading. most grocery store nuggets are a bread crumb or some form of panko breading. If you are discriminating when it comes to your nuggies then you've searched for a quality nuggie. sadly they are so very rare! most fast food restaurants other than McDonald's use similar breading %26 they all are awful!! in a pinch they will do. if you ever get that nuggie craving. but more than 6-10 of those limp often soggy nuggets sold in the grocery store freezer isle are an abomination to nuggies!! i used to buy these very nuggies from walmart until they were discontinued due to low sales. because they are raw chicken they were always stored amongst the raw meats area %26 to be honest most people seeking these types of snacks arent looking for them in that isle so they didnt sell enough for walmart to keep them. i semt many angry emails to walmart regarding this. im very pleased sams club brought these nuggies back. walmart would sell them in a small bag u der q pound size for around $10. this box is 5 pounds at around $15. its well worth it. as the texture, flavor %26 preparation of the nuggies are superior to all others ive tried.
Brass tax, 5 stars for texture 5 stars for flavor %26 5 stars for price. you can brown these as much as you want. i like mine lightly brown as shown in the pics. i usually place these in my air fryer at 300° for approx 10 min for a full tray of approx 30 nuggies. at about 6 min into the cook time i flip them to brown on the other side. thats it. they tase surprisingly similar to McDonald's nuggies %26 cost a fraction of the price. they are ready faster than it takes to drive there or order delivery. these are the very best grocery store nuggies i have ever tried. never had a nuggie that was gristle or cartilage, never had one that was all breading like other brands. these are top notch. if you use an air fryer or deep fryer these are exactly like McDonald's nuggies!! well worth the price! thank you sams for offering these
