Review: Spicy Chicken Nuggets from Burger King

Posted October 18th, 2017 | 5:36pm by Ryan

We can all agree on the predictability of certain fast food products. When there’s regular chicken nuggets, a spicy version will follow eventually (although still no spicy McNugget option in the States). With Burger King, their nuggets have gone through plenty of tweaked recipes over the years and their latest now has an option with some heat. Introducing new Spicy Chicken Nuggets from Burger King.

Made with white meat, our bite-sized Spicy Chicken Nuggets are tender and juicy on the inside and crispy crunchy on the outside. Coated in a spicy homestyle breading, they are perfect for dipping in any of our delicious dipping sauces.

Burger King describes their newlike this:

Let’s be honest, the main selling point of nuggets at Burger King is their on again, off again promotion of 10 nuggets for $1.49. It’s a fast food value that is hard to pass up. To promote new Spicy Chicken Nuggets, the 10 for $1.49 deal is currently active at participating BK locations.

The more I think about it, the more I feel the value isn’t all that stellar. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good deal, but when you actually start to figure how much actual chicken product you’re getting out of those ten nuggets you might reconsider.They go down very fast.A big part of each nugget is the breading. The texture is softer than I’d like.The chew is so easy that it’s a little off-putting… very processed and artificial and every bit worth the super low price. I found the heat level to be very tame. Tame enough to possibly appeal to the masses a lot easier than something that only a small percentage of people can handle. I don’t see paprika striking fear into many. On a 1-10 fast food heat scale I’d put these at a 2 or 3.There’s not much difference between these nuggets and the stuff you can get at the grocery store. In fact, there’s likely far superior quality options at the grocery store. It doesn’t sound like I enjoyed BK’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets, but for what they are, they’re actually decent.Cheap is definitely in BK’s wheelhouse and I didn’t expect anything more or less when it comes to the new Spicy Chicken Nuggets.
