Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets

Wendy'sChicken - Nuggets / Tenders

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Nuggets are breaded all-white-meat chicken pieces with a kick of heat in the breading. Wendy's invented the spicy nugget category and they're still the gold standard — McDonald's and Burger King have tried to compete, but Wendy's version remains the one people compare everything else to. Nutrition based on 10 piece size.

I prefer chicken that is not processed like that. Just chunks of white meat chicken
