![]() ![]() These Costco-stocked chicken nuggets made me think of the frozen popcorn chicken of my childhood, which isn't a bad thing at all, but it's no Chick-fil-A. There was a little bit of a spicy, white pepper kick, but nothing major - there is no hint of heat in Chick-fil-A's nugget flavor profile. On the other hand, the Just Bare nuggets were saltier and more directly savory. The flavor made me want to keep going back for more, and more, and more. It's such a distinct flavor, one I've never gotten from something savory outside of these little golden drops of chicken-y goodness. It's hard to put a finger on the quality, but it reminded me of the underlying sweetness of a pie crust. The difference in flavor was most noticeable Even Chick-fil-A sauce couldn't make Just Bare taste exactly like Chick-fil-A.Ĭhick-fil-A's bite-sized breaded chicken has a sweetness to it that I hadn't noticed until I pit it against nuggets made by another company. The only difference was that chewy fat pockets were more common in the Just Bare nuggets. I can see why people would equate the chicken quality of the frozen, bulk-buy brand with that of Chick-fil-A. Inside, both nuggets were extremely similar The meat was the most similar component between the two.Įach piece of poultry was white, juicy, and looked like a freshly cooked piece of chicken breast.īreading aside, the actual chicken meat looked identical. In terms of color, the Chick-fil-A chunks were, overall, slightly less yellow in hue. On the other hand, Just Bare was coated in what felt more like a flour-based breading which easily pulled away from the meat.įor those reasons, the smaller, crunchier Just Bare chunks were most similar to Chick-fil-A's nuggets, but the bigger ones were miles away in texture. When I took a look at the Chick-fil-A coating, I was able to see the consistency across chunks - crunchy bits held up, but soft bits never became soggy.Ĭhick-fil-A has an outer layer that's more like breadcrumbs that have completely fused with the meat itself. While some of the Just Bare coatings were crunchy and held up over time, others were softer and soggier and separated easily from the actual chicken inside. Though Chick-fil-A's nuggets aren't completely uniform in size and shape either, they were mostly all within the same range, about the size of a walnut. ![]() Some of the Just Bare white meat pieces were crunchy and the size of a bottle cap and others were softer on the outside and the size of my palm. Right off the bat, I could see a clear difference: The Just Bare chicken piece sizes were all over the place.

Hatched, raised and harvested in the USA.So to test this claim, I put on my most critical nugget-eating hat and pit the two against one another for a side-by-side comparison to see if the Costco chicken chunks could serve as an at-home replacement for Chick-fil-A, which cost me $9.85 for a 12-piece order.
