Plus, knowing that the nutrition for these nuggets is actually pretty good for my health (160 calories per serving, only 6 grams of fat, and 9 grams of carbs, with 16 grams of protein), I'd have to say I think I would rather pick up a bag of these to have at home when I'm looking for some crispy chicken to throw on my salad. While I do love a trip to Chick-fil-A, I have to admit, this did satisfy the craving for me. So my only suggestion is to portion them out.

But hey, fewer trips to the grocery store, right? Especially given that everything that comes from Costco always seems to be bigger than you actually need. The Just Bare chicken nuggets are slightly bigger, but quite honestly, I wasn't mad about it. It's also important to note that the shape of the chicken nuggets is different compared to those at Chick-fil-A. Once everything was ready to go, I took my first bite. While I didn't have a Chick-fil-A sauce to dip in for the full experience, I made my own sriracha aioli for dipping (mayonnaise, sriracha, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce). The Just Bare chicken nuggets come in a huge bag of 22 servings, and after 23 minutes in the oven, I realized I cooked way more chicken nuggets than I actually needed. Like almost every item on Costco shelves, the warehouse does not skimp on giving you enough food. What did they taste like? Kiersten Hickman/Eat This, Not That! A few minutes later, I'm pulling into the house ready to give these chicken nuggets a taste. Was it really going to taste like Chick-fil-A, or are fitness gurus just making a loose comparison again in order to get you to try something "healthier?"Īfter getting lost a bit in the clothes section and buying two new pairs of sweatpants (guilty, Costco did it again), I took my large bag of frozen chicken to check out. These chicken nuggets are clearly a good addition to your freezer, especially if you have little ones to feed…but it still didn't have me convinced. The key thing here is the texture when it comes to mimicking Chick-fil-A's nuggets, and while I wouldn't call myself a chicken nugget connoisseur, I've had enough Chick-fil-A throughout college to feel like I know exactly the type of nugget to look for. They usually don't have a specific "chicken nugget" shape and the breading is a lot lighter. Unlike the nuggets you'll find at chains like McDonald's or Wendy's, Chick-fil-A's nuggets are more resemblant to popcorn chicken. I think it's important to note that Chick-fil-A's nuggets are quite different compared to other chicken nuggets on fast food menus. So when I saw numerous people online talk about how these particular Costco chicken nuggets "taste just like Chick-fil-A," I, of course, had to put my taste buds to the test. I've been burned quite a few times in the past with this sort of statement, like the time a fitness expert told me to mix Greek yogurt with peanut butter, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips and said it "tastes just like cookie dough" (news flash: it didn't). I'm always skeptical when a person tells me something "tastes just like" something else.
