CFA is #1 and it isn't even a contest

They are actually breaded pieces of real chicken made fresh.

The others on the list are frozen with chopped and formed nuggets. I don't want small pieces of chicken mashed together into the form of a nugget.

The two are not even comparable

 

[Regiruler]

Are Burger King nuggets any better in the states? I get them every now and then in Canada as they're 10 for $2 but you sure aren't paying for quality.

Nah, they've always been trash.

Their chicken fries are a bit better.

 

[Clipse]

McDonald's over Chick-fil-A? Lol.

Also, who dips chicken nuggets in tartar sauce? Da fuq?

You can get 10 of them for $1.49.

That should be a red flag.

 

[see5harp]

The only reason I ever eat McDonalds is that it's $5 for 20. They are better than Burger King though. Those shits are straight on par with the nuggets you'd get at a school lunch cafeteria.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

Wtf Wendy's tastes like some frozen Tyson nuggets. I refuse this list.

 

[Matt Attack]

Burger King's nuggets used to be incredible (easily my favorites) but I'm pretty sure they changed the recipe at some point, because I can't stand them now. It's so sad.

 

[Euron]

Putting McDonalds nuggets over Chic-Fil-A (and Popeye's to a lesser extent) is pure heresy.

 

[ChimpBottle]

God, no, they're dry and awful. Peppery, though.

Yeah that sounds like BK alright. I wonder how the hell they ended up at #2

Edit: stupid me read the list upside down

In the real world, it's the breading and the seasoning of that breading that makes the nugget, not the chicken.

The rank is valid, so shall be decreed.

Maybe it's decades of being unlucky, but McNuggets are the most inconsistent food item I've ever had at a fast food place. Sometimes they've clearly been heat lamped for too long and they're all leathery, and sometimes even when they seem right out of the oil, they can taste a little off.

I mean, don't get me wrong, when they're good, they're good. Years before I got married, there was a McDonald's on my way home from work that got the nuggets right every time. It was very easy to make the worst choices for my body back then.

I always liked McDonald's nuggets.

 

[Space Wanderer]

Every time I get Wendy's nuggets they are dry as shit and taste like they've been sitting under the lamp for hours.

 

[Sesuadra]

wait, does mcdonalds america not serve Curry Sauce for chicken nuggets?

omg that picture is amazing

 

[jediyoshi]

McDonald's fried nuggets are better and have a unique flavor.

The mutual exclusion here is worrying.

 

[LosDaddie]

As a father of 2 young children I can safely tell you it's CFA nuggets, and then everyone else in a distant 2nd place.

There is no debate.

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

Chickfila nuggets are the only ones that taste like real chicken. Nothing else on that list is even in the same league.

They're the only ones that ARE real (unprocessed) chicken.

This list is garbage.

 

[sixteen-bit]

gonna have to try wendy's some day

 

[Strangelove77]

Does every know that a chicken nugget is different than a chicken strip?
A chicken nugget is shredded up chicken parts mashed together and fried. That's it. Nothing healthy or fancy about it. It's cheap fast food.
This list is pretty much on point.

 

[Weazel_1]

Woah! Steady on - Are Chicken Selects not counted? Chicken goo exclusively?

I don't know who uses pink goop, but McDonald's claims they have never used it. In any case they definitely don't use it now...they recently gave Business Insider a tour

 

[Sanjuro]

McNuggets are more important than Chick-fil-A nuggets, I'll agree there.

 

[weepy]

When they're fresh, which is an admittedly rare occurrence, I do think McNuggets hold their own, as far as breaded chicken paste goes.

But they're not better than CFA. Get out of here with that.

Honestly this. Maybe it's nostalgia, but these nuggets scratch that trash food itch like no other.

 

[Tarkus]

This list can fuck off. Not only are McDonald's nuggets the best, their sweet and sour sauce is better than anything by a country mile.

 

[Tigress]

In the real world, it's the breading and the seasoning of that breading that makes the nugget, not the chicken.

Ugh. I'll take the chicken nugget that has real chicken and does not look like some sort of bread product with chicken flavoring inside with a decent batter over chicken like substance with good batter.

Chick Fil A wins by a mile.

 

[shiftplusone]

I can agree with the list on the premise that better quality doesn't mean a better nuggie, even if chik fil a is objectively a better and higher quality piece of meat.

When I want chik fil a I'll get nuggets every time but when I want some fuckin nugs I get wendys or Mcdonalds.

Um, I don't see Raising Cane's...

1. Raising canes is only in like louisiana and texas.
2. Strips are not nuggets, they are strips

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Figured Wendy's would top it. Everyone I knew in college fiended for the Wendy's nuggets over McD's every day of the week.

I am surprised to see Chicken Fries in the middle of the list. Every review I read of them said shit like 'dry,' 'all the seasoning is in the breading,' and 'boring.'

 

[this_guy]

McDonald's chicken nuggets have 4 basic shapes. That attention to detail is why they are so highly regarded. /s

[AP90]

I mean Wendy's spicy nuggets are pretty tasty but not really top of the list tasty. McD's being at no 2 further clarifies that this list is actually a joke.

My thoughts. Haven't had CFA ones.

My go to list for fast food is Wendy's (I only go to BK when I want a fast food burger...grew up having whoppers 2x a month as kid in the summer after a sports game or something back when it was introduced for a $1... There is some sentimental aspects behind it 👍 )

 

[Hazmat]

Any list of chicken nuggets that has the nuggets from Chick-Fil-A under the ones from McDonalds and Wendy's is completely wrong. We all get down with some trash-tier fast food sometimes, but this list isn't about comfort food or cheapest or stuff you can get at 2 AM when you're wasted, it's about best.

 

[Mediking]

White Castle's chicken rings are amazing. What crazy list is this?!

 

[mackattk]

That is the only thing that BK is good for... Use the coupon on the back of the receipt and get a whopper combo meal for like $3.

 

[TransTrender]

Considering I recently had McDonalds nuggets for the first time in years, found them to be pretty gross, and I got a case of the bubble guts afterwards I'm shocked to see them at number 2. Yes they were made fresh and crispy and I had them with sweet and sour sauce.

 

[RiderKairuu]

Wendy's nuggets are top tier, 2nd to CFA. I always get the 4 for 4 because I always want nuggets even when I want a burger.

 

[Paskil]

I am assuming that this list is for nuggets and not tenders but I have to ask, why the fuck would you get nuggets at CFA when you could get tenders? Also,that asterisk about CFA sauce is super aggressive and triggered me

Spoiler

not really

. Shit should be number one.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Wendy's is the correct choice for #1.

I don't really dip my nuggets so no opinion on that score.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

MCDonald's Sweet and Sour sauce is the bomb, second only to the hot mustard that they discontinued.

Honey is terrible, and anyone who orders it ought to know that their opinions don't count for anything. That's the kind of trash that Republicans would put on their food.

 

[HeySeuss]

I can agree with the list on the premise that better quality doesn't mean a better nuggie, even if chik fil a is objectively a better and higher quality piece of meat.

1. Raising canes is only in like louisiana and texas.
2. Strips are not nuggets, they are strips

Raising Canes is here in Ohio spreading it's mediocrity and overrated hype.

I don't have a huge issue with Wendy's as before I clicked this thread and figured that was the winner. They're pretty good, especially the spicy ones.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

MCD over CFA? Author must've burned his taste buds off.

 

[Nepenthe]

Wendy's nuggets being at the top of the list is all that matters. The rest of the companies can fight for the scraps.

 

[daveo42]

Someone dun fucked up. Wendy's at #1? Chick fil' A at #3? McDonald's in the top 5? What the shit is this?

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Nuggets are such a 80s and 90s product. These days it's all about fingers.

I'll be the first to admit they're overrated as hell, but the menu is simple, they're always fresh, and they're always quality. Definitely my go-to spot for fried chicken.

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

Probably the trashiest food ranking I've ever seen. The author should be ashamed of their words and deeds.

Edit:

Nuggets are such a 80s and 90s product. These days it's all about fingers.

This guy knows what's up.

 

[bakedcrisps]

CFA's nuggets and their placement is a travesty that's well documented in this thread, but CFA Sauce not being in the top 10 sauces is just downright moronic and I won't stand for it.

 

[Teggy]

*McDonald's Sweet and Sour and Chick-Fil-A’s nugget sauce didn't make the list after it was determined they weren't good enough to recommend at all.

WHAT

 

[Already Torn]

Wendy's nuggets suck and Chick-fil-A is obviously 1.

I've never visited this blog but now I never will. What a bunch of frauds.

They don't like Chick-fil-A sauce either? Shut down this website. Fake news.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Wrong.

Chick-fil-A is number 1 followed by Wendy's.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Chik-Fil-A has to be the most overrated fast food joint in the country.

I received a coupon in the mail back in November for a free order of nuggets. They were okay but more surprisingly they were a lot smaller than I expected. If I had paid for them I would have felt ripped off.
