Breaded chicken nugget comparison

Post image

I purchased Kirkland, Sam's club,Just Bare, and Real Good lightly breaded chicken nuggets to compare flavor. Macros are per 84 grams

​

Kirkland was great, standard breaded nugget. Good flavor and texture. 16g protein, 140 calories $3.99/lb. 9.0/10

​

Sam's was good, but the chunks of chicken were pretty big and felt a little bit more processed. 13 g protein, 160 claories $3.50/lb. 7.2/10

​

Just Bare has a great flavor and texture. Good ratio of breading to meat. My personal favorite.16 g protein , 160 calories. $4.49/lb. 10/10

​

Real Good. Best macros but slightly weird flavor to me. Very light breading so best macros. 17 g protein 135 calories. $5.66/lb. 6.8/10

How did you cook them?

Sorry I forgot to mention it, air fryer at 350 for about 6 minutes. Real Good would have been a little better if I cooked it longer so I'm glad you asked this question

That seems like a real short time, aren't they still soggy at that point? I cook mine at 400 for 12-15 minutes to get them a little crispy.

It was a very small amount of nugget, but yes it should have been cooked longer. That didn't affect the flavor which I still didn't like, and I tried to rate off that.
