McDonalds nuggets somehow make #2 on the list and yet their sweet & sour dipping sauce (literally the only dipping sauce that should ever be used on their nuggets) 'wasn't good enough to be ranked'? I could understand the latter if not for the former.

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

I've now had chicken from Raising Cane's three separate times from three separate locations after repeated insistence by several people that it's fantastic.

It's the blandest chicken I've ever had and I don't know how they remain in business let alone thrive as a franchise operation.
 
No bleu cheese on the list? Who the fuck eats nuggets with honey??? also ranch is disgusting. Wendys spicy nuggets are alright.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I don't get the love for CFA. Overpriced and over-hyped.
Chicken nugs are ok to be trashy, because it's chicken fucking nuggets.

This list is garbage. Wendy's, McDs, BK, and White Castle all belong near the bottom. CFA, Popeyes, and KFC near the top.

wtf, Chickfila nuggets are definitely number 1 and their sauces are god tier. Polynesian and Chickfila sauce? Amaze.

CFA needs to be #1.. It is the only place out of those that I know of that actually breads their chicken in house, rather than it coming in a frozen bag only to be put directly in the deep fryer.

Fuck that sauce picture for having McDonalds Hot Mustard pictured. The GOAT dipping sauce for their fries, and they discontinued it about 2 years ago.

I haven't had Wendy's but McDonald's is extremely deserving of it. They are the gold standard for cheap nuggets. However Chick Fil A's are extremely good. Burger King's are so bad. You could buy them from a freezer section in the grocery store and you wouldn't taste the difference, no crisp at all.

This shit right here.

Bastards took away my favorite McD's sauce.

I only use s&s when I forget to ask for their BBQ.

I might have agreed with this list if it was the 80s Chicken McNuggets. I had a rude awakening in 2000 when I had them after a few years away, and realized they'd replaced the dark meat with white meat and cooked in oil instead of tallow. So plain.

Wendy's spicy nuggets are pretty good and possibly my favorite. Not a huge fan of the original ones. Chick-fil-A is 2nd for me.

BK are the worst I tasted. I bought them once because they were 10 for $1.49 and regret it. Not even my cat ate them.
 
I can agree with Wendy's being tops, I cannot agree with mcnuggets being so high.......UNLESS THEY ARE DIPPED IN HOT MUSTARD SAUCE THEN THEY ARE GOD TIER.

Hell, the "sauce list" alone tell me that the taste of the people involved isn't to be trusted. I saw Mardi Gras Mustard on the list which was a nice surprise but then they go on to say that it was determined that CFA Sauce wasn't good enough to rank? CFA sauce isn't good enough yet there are multiple kinds of ranch on the list?

I hope no one involved in the creation of this list ever treats me to any kind of dinner...

Fake news

3 (tie). Ranch (Chick-Fil-A): Perhaps a touch thicker than Popeye's ranch, with distinct garlic and onion overtones that recall the classic Doritos chip.

No Dorito chip has ever had distinct taste of anything. That's like saying blue raspberry taste like raspberries.

No a nugget fan, give me tenders any day of the week.
 
I haven't tried the spicy nuggets from Wendy's, but I can't picture a world in which I'd rank their regular ones higher than Chik-fil-A's. It's unthinkable.

CFA nuggets are terrible. They always taste soggy.
When you go to Chik Fil A, you get a chicken sandwich.

The list is right with its top 3 at least.
 
I'd put Wendy's in the top 3, but no way they are better than CFA. McD's nuggets always tasted like they were made out of shredded newspaper to me.

And why is Zaxby's nowhere to be found on this list? Travesty.

Wendy's nuggets just taste like any baked frozen brand

McDonald's fried nuggets are better and have a unique flavor. Same with Chick Fil A. Wendy's is worse than both.
 
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.
