That's exactly why chic-fil-a should be disqualified from this list. Chic fil a is good but they're not real nuggets... It's chicken paste or go home.
WHAT
At first I thought they were disqualified because they're strips, but they rank Chicken Fries and there's strips in the picture.
Rigged.
That's funny considering CFA is probably the only real chicken on that list

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I agree with the reviews assessment of CFA nuggets... they are ok.. but great? nah.
McDonalds and Wendy's have what I want in a nugget.. which is a great vessel for sauces.

A vessel that hollow on the inside is not a vessel I wish to dip.
It should be lower on the list.
everything else should be taken off the list because they're trash tier
By fucking fire I assume you mean burning garbage
Once you embrace chicken paste into your life you will see the light. I will pray for your soul.

I think the top 3 is right, not sure on the order, but they are all interchangeable imho. I guess I'd give Wendy's the edge for value.
Sauce wise though, CFA's sriracha sauce alone makes them #1.

Just wrong. Completely wrong.
Chick fil a is 1. Mcdonalds is shit tier.
Chicken paste? Do the Atlanta chick fil a's actually use chicken and you guys get something else. It's whole chicken chunks for me. What am i missing?

Wendy's at number one is no surprise. They are head and shoulders above the rest of the list in either flavor offering.
I feel like I'm the only person in the world who used to get those McDonald's Chicken Selects, though. You dipped those in their Chipotle BBQ and you got a taste of heaven on earth with extra sodium added in, of course. But damn those were my jam during high school.

I thought it was peanut oil and pickle juice. Sweetness comes from the peanut oil
Like the hat?

Chicken rings are fucking amazing. But I agree that Wendy's is best

Wendy's is fantastic but not sure if they beat CFA

Wendy's Nuggets are only good when they're fresh.
Which for me, happens approximately 1% of the time.

Nah, they do put confectioner's sugar in their breading. In addition to the pickle marinade and cooking in peanut oil. Peanut oil doesn't really turn sweet at all from my experience using it.
Nah. Depends on the Wendy's you go to. A good batch of both spicy or regular nuggets are fantastic. Though if you go to a crappy Wendy's and they give you dry nuggets, then I can understand your hatred.
Also Chic-Fil-A should be second place. Wish there were more near my house and that they were open 7 days a week.
This is also a good choice. Strips/Tenders > Nuggets in general.

Chick fil A's taste good, yeah, but they're much more expensive and much smaller than other chains. Their largest portion I probably inhale in like two minutes.
That's the point... Chic-fil-a is more "chicken chunks" than chicken nuggets (which come from a chicken paste that almost every other nuggets on the list uses). In the end more traditional nuggets end up "thinner" and can be any shape, which I personally like more at this point...though I did like chic-fil-a more at one point.
. and no Polynesian sauce this list is TRASH
EDIT ZXBYS ISNT EVEN ON THE FUCKING LIST
FUCK THIS LIST

I have never had a chicken nugget better than Chick-fil-A's.
McDonald's nuggets are disgusting. When I had to go do visitation with my dad as a kid he would constantly take me to McDonald's since he didn't like to cook, and get me a happy meal to eat while he drove. I loved the fries, but hated the nuggets so I tried to hide them so I wouldn't have to eat them. Somewhere, in some junkyard, there's an old Volkswagen with tons of dried out McNuggets stuffed between the seats.
Also, Chick-fil-A's honey mustard is the best sauce hand's down.

Chick-fil-a not at number one is just stupid.
BK nuggets are vile, no wonder it's damn cheap.
They had a different nuggets around 2011 or '12, which was a poor McDonald's clone. But it is better than the cheap crap they have today.
Wendy's always have the best nuggets.
McDonald's are okay if they are just out the fryer, otherwise it's dry as hell if you order a batch that's sat around.

I used to love the White Castle chicken rings. Then I had one that was raw inside.
Never again.
Never again.

Nothing! I said nothing!
Who has tasted UK chicken mcnuggets and US ones? Do they taste the same cause the UK ones are disgusting. Can't believe there would be only once better kind in the US.

Are McNuggets even real chicken? Same with Wendy's.
That makes their chicken even more pathetic not better.
Lol, yeah...No...
you mean cold or partially frozen? because there's no way there's raw chicken in those once they leave the factory.

that sounds terrible
i ain't gonna lie; I love me some McD nuugeets for a quick meal I buy a 20 piece and call it a day! so I'd expect them a #2
EDIT: though if you happen to be in southwestern, CT I would suggest Garden Catering nuggets!!! best of the best!!!

shame that McD's got rid of their habanero dipping sauce, it was the best
I hate Wendy's but their nuggets have always been my #1. Wtf indeed at McD's being so high.
Also Burger King has nuggets, why are they ranking chicken fries? Those things suck.

Seems weird to make such a long article and include this sentence:
that completely invalidates your opinion.

That's 5$ of minced chicken bones, beaks, legs and feathers. Yummy!
Couple months ago they had a special price on cheeseburgers, 1 for 0,50 $. I mean, are they trying to attract people or scare them away, because I for one don't want to know what those hamburgers are made of much less eat one.

Having made more chicken at CFA than I care to remember, you need a refund on your taste buds.
