Chicken nuggets are a staple meal for picky eaters, but they are also a comfort food beloved by people of all ages. Over the years, there has been much debate on where to find the best chicken nuggets. Whether it is looking for the juiciest chicken, crispiest breading or the tastiest seasoning, here are the best places to find chicken nuggets.
Raising Cane’s
“There is no better place for chicken fingers than Raising Cane’s. The tang of the sauce, the crispiness of the coating and the tenderness of the chicken make it a place only worthy for special occasions. The only right way to order at Cane’s is a Box Combo with a lemonade, an extra sauce and a swap of coleslaw for an extra Texas Toast. With a sauce recipe that no chef has managed to crack and a tasty experience in every bite, Cane’s earns itself an unbeatable 9.99/10.” – Cecilia Bernstein
Dave’s Hot Chicken
“Dave’s Hot Chicken is a little bit of an underground restaurant but this does not make its food any less delicious. The meal comes with two large tenders, sliced bread, pickles and the signature Dave’s sauce. The chicken was high quality, with juicy and tender meat paired with fiery heat and standout flavors. I would definitely recommend their chicken and rate it an 8/10.” – Leah Kreisler
Chick-fil-A
“Chick-fil-A is definitely a standout when it comes to chicken nuggets. Despite their small size, the crispy breading and fresh chicken create a simple but delicious flavor. These nuggets are the perfect complement to Chick-fil-A’s wide variety of flavorful sauces. I rate it an 8/10.” – Rebecca Dean
Popeyes
“The Popeyes chicken nuggets have the perfect combination of a flaky and crispy texture on the outside with the chicken itself still juicy and moist on the inside. Although Popeyes has a wide variety of dipping sauces to choose from, its nuggets are already well seasoned so a sauce is not a necessity. Popeyes earns itself an impressive 9/10.” – Catherine Chan
Wingstop
“I had Wingstop and got my chicken in two flavors: Lemon Pepper and Hot Honey Rub. The flavor was immaculate, well seasoned and wasn’t too overdone. Although they are dry rubs, the chicken itself had a certain moisture to it. For the flavor, I would have to give it a 10/10. The chicken itself was not crispy and was quite soft, I give that a 7/10. Overall, I would give it an 8.5/10.” – Isabella Ngwana
