I dont have costco to try it but if it tastes anything close to Chicfila, it will be a huge seller. Anyone here tried these yet?

Edit: Sams sells the same brand too it looks like.

They're a frozen chicken nugget. Maybe the best ones at the market, but they're not going to beat hand battered and pressure friend fresh nugget or strip

My wife gets the ones from Sam's and cooks them in the air fryer. Good but not the same.

They're good chicken nuggets what's your question? They're not as good as Chick-fil-A but who cares. We probably eat two bags a month.

I get the Costco filets and cook them in the air fryer. They are not as good straight up but with my own spices or sauces, they are just as good. It just takes 30-60 minutes.
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.

They do not. They are good but not THAT good.

Tried some for lunch today. Texture is pretty close to chicfila while seasoning you need to provide your own. They are pretty good overall. 8m in airfryer so very quick to cook.

They are good for the price for sure.

But just about anything not labeled <insert store brand here> chicken nuggets is bound to be better.

None of the pre-formed mechanically separated chicken nuggets have ever appealed to me. I said years ago that I wanted to market a product called "Aunt Frannie's Chicken Lumps" that was just irregular pieces of real chicken with a tasty breading. That ship has obviously sailed since there are plenty of products out there that have a decent product that doesn't look like this:

I think the HEB brand nuggets, strips, and fillets are a closer match to the taste of Chick-fil-A. Main staple in our household.

"You can further recreate the Chick-fil-A experience by making a homemade version of the restaurant's iconic sauce (here's what Chick-fil-A sauce is really made of) for dipping. But if you don't want to make your own, Walmart's been selling a knock-off Chick-fil-A sauce that could elevate the meal without any of the extra work."


Why would someone buy the Walmart knock off when Chick Fil A sells their sauce? If you really like it that much get the real thing.

Realgood chicken nuggets are great too.

Bare brand is ok - when you get some good pieces they can be good. But their quality control is bad...sometimes you get pieces that just taste like crap. Same with their Costco branded ones as well - very similar.

Unpopular opinion, but I've never thought CFA was that great.

It's not the worst product out there, but it's still overpriced, oversalted chicken with portions so small even Dan Cathy admitted his entire business was built around chicken breasts that were too small for anyone else to buy.

More CFA for you, I guess. I can't help that I like big breasts.

I'm not slicer but chicken is pretty nasty. Especially if you've seen how they are raised and killed in a commercial operation. I worked 8 years in the poultry industry for a major company.

Why would I want a giant chicken breast on a sandwich?

I said big, not giant. The chicken should be big enough to cover the entire surface of the bun. CFA chicken only covers maybe 60-70% of the bun.

What if you like big buns?

Ever been to Gold Feather off of 410? I could see this place blowing up of they run it right. The bahn me fried chicken sandwich is really good and so is the regular. The regular has slaw which was the proper way to eat chick fil a back when I used to go there. I won't speak poorly of CFA, but there are so many better options these days I don't even think about Chick-fil-a when I'm in the mood for a chicken sandwich

They're great, but you know what's better?

The chipotle chicken that comes in the transparent packaging. Tastes like chipotle restaurant chicken

Bares chicken is fantastic. My daughter loves chick fil a and she thinks the frozen ones from the air fryer are better.

Costco has a 4 pound bag for $18. She gets about $1.50 a meal out of them. It's $14 for a 1.5 pound bag at all the other grocery stores so Costco can't be beat for them.

Considering it's $7 for a 5 count kids meal at chick fil a…. No brainer to air fry at home.
