on the U.S., promising a fast food poultry landscape that will never be the same again. Building off the success and hype of its insanely popular chicken sandwich, which sparked the phenomenon now fondly recalled as the “chicken sandwich wars” back in 2019, the company made the next logical step—double down on hype with a new breed of nuggets.
Surprisingly, though, they’re actually not terrible once you get to eating them. The chicken is more moist and juicy than the likes of Sonic or Burger King, with a somewhat dense and springy texture that lands between the classic spongy weirdness of McDonald’s and the “real chicken” interior of Chick-fil-A. The breading is fairly thin, pretty crisp and adheres tightly to the chicken. Flavor is mild overall, not overly salty and with a slight peppery edge.
The more divisive thing about Chick-fil-A’s nuggets is their style of breading, which is also quite individualistic and distinct. It’s a light, patchy, crumbly breading that evokes breadcrumbs, applied sparsely over the nuggets, often with patches where the breading is almost entirely missing. There’s definitely no “crunch,” and the crispiness is questionable, while the flavor tends to be mild—a bit of warm spice like paprika or chili powder, but these are also noticeably a bit sweeter as well.
