I tried the new nuggets, and I think these beat Mcdonalds by a mile. They are crispy, and have a sleight crunch on the outside, you taste the white chicken deeply. Mcdonalds are just more wet and slimy and moist.
What I would change, is they do need to put pepper in the batter of the nugget. I brought it to work, and everyone tried it with and without pepper, and it just gave it the extra kick it needed to be a complete nugget. Unanimously everyone thought it was better with pepper. The hype that I’ve been giving burger king made me look crazy, until these nuggets came through, and I was no longer seen as crazy.
Bbq and zest were the sauces that stuck out. Sweet and sour sauce was garbage, and was the most left over in the packets at work. Dragon ball z sauce was a teriyaki flavor and was ok. My bk forgot to put savory or were out so I didnt get a chance to taste that. Two coworkers said they would buy these immediately after work and bring them to their family. And yes they did think it better than Mcdonalds due to crunch and sauces and chicken flavor. No one cared if it was similar to Wendy’s as long as they were good. Now even if you feel Mcdonalds is better, these are now competitive in the market place.
As a very very nostalgic person, I would say we need to stop downvoting/ complaining about these just because they arent The 90’s version. That was the golden age for everyone and we need to appreciate and live in the present. The fact that they even did change recipes when they never had to, is what we should look at, and if its better or worse then the old formulation. Yes they need to look at costs to mass produce, but for doing that these are delicious! BK recently came out and said that cost of beef is going up and they are tired of passing the price to the consumer and wont let it happen.
Now if we can get their fries to stop tasting like cardboard, theyll be onto something, or as all my coworkers like to say, tasting like chalk.
