The ones I have had don’t look nor taste like white meat. To me they taste like compressed chicken. The kind you find in a chicken or turkey roll.
Now maybe they are white meat, but they didn’t taste like it. Perhaps it has to do with the popcorn chicken by KFC, that is by far the best “nugget or strip” type of chicken I’ve tasted.
My beef is not whether or not they really or white meat, or even the quality of the meat they use - rather, its with how the new recipe is any different than the old one.
Just to chime in, Chik fil a takes the cake on best nuggets period… problem is, locations are not as plentiful and of course, we all know about sunday.
The old nuggets weren’t made of all white meat. They also had some dark meat in them, and you’d occasionally hit a bad one with a patch of gristle in it. The new ones are ALL white meat.
What’s the deal with white meat anyway? I appreciate white meat and all, but dark meat tastes more like chicken than white meat. Most white meat is fairly flavorless.
yes, much better. Chik-fil-a is the best chicken out there. I always call it jesus chicken, because it’s run by a bunch of christian fundamentalists. If you go into a chik-fil-a and look closely, you’ll often see bible quotes and wierd jesus shit hidden throughout the store. That being said, i do love their food.
And I do notice a small change in the new McNuggets’ taste – they seem slightly lighter and a little more aromatic than the old ones. Of course, it’s probably all artificial flavoring anyway (go read Fast Food Nation now!), so it could be cat meat for all we know…
It’s been a while since I read Fast Food Nation, but I seem to remember there was actually a section on McNuggets. I’m pretty sure it talked about how the meat for the chicken was mechanically scraped from the bone – that is, after the good, yummy chicken meat was taken off the body, the bones are sent through a special processing machine that scrapes every last bit of possible usable meat off of it. And with that meat, a McNugget is born! Maybe the new McNuggets use the better, pre-scrapings meat? I haven’t tried the new ones yet, so I can’t comment on the taste.
The fact that I still eat at fast food restaurants as often as I do (which, to be fair, never was all that often) after reading Fast Food Nation says something about me, I’m sure. I’m not sure what, but something.
