Tried chicken nuggets from 6 fast-food chains and ranked them from worst to best

Burger King’s refreshed chicken nuggets and McDonald’s limited-time Spicy Chicken McNuggets hit menus on September 1, prompting a head-to-head ranking across six major chains. The review put Wendy’s last: $7.49 for a 10-piece in New York City, crispy but chewy, and more suited to a side than a main pull. KFC followed at $7.31 for 10, with lighter breading and a slightly bland bite despite higher-quality-tasting chicken and comeback sauce. McDonald’s delivered classic consistency—$2.39 for four or $5.79 for 10—though “a touch too salty.” Burger King’s upgraded nugget, $5.19 for 10, was crispier with a more flavorful marinade and new packaging.
