![]() We know this because if they were, Boston Market would’ve done it already. Rotisserie-style chicken nuggets? This nugget is serving a pretty niche market and we think it’s pretty safe to assume the type of people who love rotisserie chicken aren’t the type of people who want it nugget style. Dairy Queen - Rotisserie-style Chicken Bites Dairy Queen We hit fried nuggets, grilled nuggets, new nuggies on the scene, and even ate some chicken that was in questionable shape - Burger King’s Chicken Fries and White Castle’s very weird Chicken Rings - in order to give the most comprehensive picture of what’s out there and what’s worth eating. We took our original nugget ranking from last year, which topped out at 16, and added 5 new nuggets to the list, re-tasted each and re-ranked them. So today we’re celebrating the mighty nugget by ranking every fast food chicken nugget we could get our hands on in search of the GOAT. Now, in 2022, almost every major chain in the vast landscape of fast food has a chicken nugget on the menu and we’ve come such a long way from the nuggets of the 80s, which were full of nerves, skeletal muscle, and who knows what else, that the vintage stuff would fall right out of our top 20 (but not below DQ). When McDonald’s introduced the Chicken McNugget in 1983, it started a love affair with boneless processed chicken that would change the landscape of fast food forever. ![]() Your move, McDonald's.These days it’s always “chicken sandwich this, chicken sandwich that.” But what about the nugget? The chicken nugget is as integral to fast food as the cheeseburger and French fries. So, will Popeyes manage to revolutionize the chicken nugget as it claims? We'll know for sure when other major fast-food players suddenly update their recipes over the next several months. The chain also hinted at special offers for its rewards members. Just remember to ask for enough sauce for all of that chicken. Standard orders range from four to 36 pieces, but you can also get massive 48-piece orders exclusively via or the Popeyes mobile app. Then again, they’re designed to be dipped in the chain’s popular sauces, including Blackened Ranch, Buttermilk Ranch, Mardi Gras Mustard, Sweet Heat, and of course, Bayou Buffalo. However, unlike the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, the new Chicken Nuggets are only available in a classic flavor, meaning there’s no spicy version. We believe that these pieces of crunchy, juicy, delicious chicken will have guests question how they ever enjoyed chicken nuggets before this.” “We aim to show the world once again the magic of Popeyes chicken with our new nuggets. “Just like our game-changing Chicken Sandwich, our new Chicken Nuggets are unlike anything you may have experienced before,” Sami Siddiqui, president of Popeyes Americas, said in a statement. The pieces of white meat chicken are hand-seasoned and breaded in buttermilk at each location before they’re freshly fried. Popeyes restaurants will use the same recipe as the Chicken Sandwich, which includes the chain’s “special flour and batter system” to create the ideal crispy and crunchy fried chicken texture, per the release. Of course, we won’t be able to find out for ourselves if the new nuggets live up to Popeyes’ bold claims for another couple of weeks, but the chain’s description of how they’re prepared sounds promising. The company even goes so far as to say that-much like how its chicken sandwich set the bar higher in that space-they’ll make customers rethink their standards for what makes a great chicken nugget. The new nuggs feature the “quality and flavors of our famous Chicken Sandwich,” but in bite-sized pieces, according to a press release. Popeyes dropped the big news on Tuesday, saying it’ll introduce its brand-new Chicken Nuggets at locations across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico on July 27. But it looks like the Louisiana-inspired chicken chain has something better up its greasy sleeves: all-new chicken nuggets. While that may seem like an eternity ago, the chain has yet to make major changes to its best-selling menu items, such as new flavors or toppings.
