Of course this is all extremely appropriate for BK, who we have long labeled the saddest chain in fast food by far. Even if they made them free with every purchase, we’d still pitch them out.

To that end, we rounded up every major fast food chain’s chicken nuggets that were available to us, and did a proper tasting, weighing the pros and cons of each. Given that the arrival of Popeyes’ new nuggets will no doubt reignite feverish internet debate on whose fast food chicken is best, we thought this was the perfect time to truly get empirical in terms of providing an answer. Others such as KFC have blurred the lines over the years with “popcorn” chicken, which is close enough that you almost have to lump it in with the true “nuggets” of the world. Many chicken chains, such as Zaxby’s or Raising Cane’s, don’t actually serve nuggets at all, instead focusing entirely on bone-in chicken or tenders. “Didn’t Popeyes already have nuggets?” you may be understandably asking, but the answer is no-true “nuggets” are actually not quite as common as you might expect.
