Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets

I’m not gonna lie to you, when we pulled up to Wendy’s I yelled out, “WHAT?!” It seemed like only a few weeks ago I was in Wendy’s with Brad, Josh and Matt having a chat about how they really needed to add some form of Spicy Chicken to the dollar menu. Thus my sudden outburst of shocked exclamation when we arrived, especially because I haven’t heard one tiny bit of promotion of these ever existing. They come in at the awesome price of 99 cents for 5 pieces, which shocked me slightly, because correct me if i’m wrong but the regular 5 piece nugget cost is up somewhere around $1.29.

If you’ve ever had Wendy’s chicken nuggets you know that the breading is probably about 50% of what makes up the nugget, with just a small piece of chicken in the middle. Now that I think about it, this is basically the fast food standard; only Chick-Fil-A knows how to properly make nuggets, which taking that into consideration does make these not as awesome in comparison. What does make it pretty great is that with all that extra breading, they somehow made it more spicy than the spicy chicken sandwich usually is, which if you’re into a good amount of spice is absolutely perfect.

Besides that, there’s not a whole lot different than you would expect from a Wendy’s Chicken Nugget dipped in the spicy batter they use on the sandwiches. Although out of all the things released in the fast food world in this almost over year, I’d have to say that these are my favorite. At least until the Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich gets released and inevitably finds its way over to the nuggets.

Wendy's Cheesy Cheddar Burger Review

Wendy’s Cheesy Cheddar Burger

There are a lot of things you can do with a burger, but arguably one of the best is to add cheese. Not plain old American cheese, but Cheddar. Wendy's has made the attempt, but did they cheese it up right?

Arby's Angus Deli Cool Wrap Review

Arby’s Angus Cool Deli Wrap

Arby's is different; while all the other fast food chains chase the dollar menu dream, this restaurant guy is in it for the big bucks. The question is whether or not the Angus Cool Deli Wrap is worth 3 McDoubles and 3 BK Stackers.

Taco Bell XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito Review

Taco Bell XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito

Taco Bell, everyone's favorite food recycler, is back with yet another proclamation of new food that is entirely too familiar. Their "new" XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito technically qualifies as new, but only from an added condiment.

Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito Review

Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito

Taco Bell has tried pulling the wool over our eyes in the past, but nothing as blatant as with the Beefy Melt Burrito, which is just a Beefy Crunch without Flamin' Hot Fritos. Read on for jokes about this uninspired creation.

  1. >Delicious and much better than the regular nugget. I still like Chicken McNuggets more but this is really good anyways.


  2. >Hmmm…Wendy's nuggets with Tony Chachere's? I'm in.


  3. >These nuggets are nasty! Processed meat and not anything like Wendys.


  4. >Don't know if the ones I got were overcooked. But they were dried out, had way more breading than the regular nuggets, and were uncomfortably chewy. Also a bit smaller than the regular ones.


  5. >Is this available in Canada, cause i havn't seen it.


  6. >Awesome nug's…….. for a $1 can't beat that…………


  7. I and my whole family Just LOVE them!Please Bring them Back!!


  8. where oh where could my nuggets be, wendys took em away from me.


  9. they may be delicious, but holy hell are they painful on the way out. I think they're breaded with powdered glass and cayenne pepper


  10. UGH I am so mad at my local Wendy's for not carrying the Spicy Crispy Chicken Nuggets anymore. :*( they are losing HUGE amounts of money from me!


  11. I feel bad, everyone's complaining they can't find these anymore and I literally ate them yesterday.


  12. I just got some at my local Wendy's not knowing that they are spicy now…..I just wanted chicken nuggets. I ate one and it just about killed me (I really hate spicy foods). I gave the rest to a co-worker. Waste of money. Why do they not mention this on the menu or when you order them? Not everyone likes spicy food.


  13. You can still get the normal nuggets, you just have to specify.


  14. I love them but i wish they could have a 20 piece meal like mcdonalds for your family……………………………………………………………. sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.


  15. Love Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich…..HATE the chicken nuggets proccessed chicken, not at all like the sandwich. SKIP THEM!
