Fast Food Unraveled: Part 2


Hello World!  After being dormant for so long, I have tried to think of an excuse to where I was for two months...working on my book, sick, entertaining guests, out of town, out of ideas - Okay, while some of these were true, I was really eating chicken!  Continuing my fast food tour, I explored chicken nuggets.  I veered away from the top three fast food chains and compared a few other good places. 




KFC - Original Recipe Bites (10 count)





- WW points: 8
- Price: $3.99 with side and drink for a limited time






It really feels like you are eating chicken right off of the bone.  They are boneless, but could have fooled me if I had a blindfold on...(ooo I should do that for my next food post).  These nuggets are moist, and the breading is just the right amount of crisp.











Chic Fil A - Nuggets (8 count)




- WW points: 7
- Price: $4.79 with fries and drink, may vary by location




These nuggets are thinly breaded and full of flavor. The light, salty taste makes you want more.  I try to ration the chicken, but always run out with a ton of waffle fries left (yum...).  The sweetness of the Polynesian sauce compliments this.





Sonic - Jumbo Popcorn Chicken (large size, too hungry to count)





- WW points: 15
- Price: $6.50 with tots/fries and drink


These nuggets are not jumbo.  They range from small to large.  The taste is good, but nothing special.  BBQ or other sauce is needed.









Winner: Chic Fil A!  KFC is a close second.  Sonic is out in left field with points, price and taste.  What is your favorite chicky-chick?
