(Spoiler alert: I ended up with a total of 70 nuggets.)
Oh yes, it’s true!
Starting at $2.79 for a 4-piece, these nuggets officially launched nationwide on June 10, 2024.
But wait!
Now that I’ve covered the ~lore~, let’s get into the taste test!
That said, they weren’t really saucy but as a result, they were still accidentally crispy!
With that, I wouldn’t order the ghost pepper nuggies again.
They left my lips feeling slippery and oily, and the nuggets lost their bite because of it.
However, the lack of sauciness plus the underwhelming honey BBQ flavor warranted a lower score from me.
I would order again, but only if there were no other options.
I loved the sauce flavor and thought that the nuggets retained their crunch just fine.
I would order these nuggets again, but there were other flavors that I just preferred much more.
The nuggets could’ve been saucier, but they did keep their bite.
All in all, though, these nuggets would DEFINITELY be re-ordered and not as a last resort.
These nuggets are definitely invited to the saucy summer party.
The two complimented each other well, and I ended up going in for seconds.
The nuggets were still crispy, too, and it made for a great bite.
Would 100% recommend trying!
Last but certainly not least, the overall best saucy nugget flavor among all 10 (!)
10s across the board.
Before I declare an official winner, let’s take a deeper look at the material.
All that said, the winner of the Saucy Nugget Showdown is… KFC!
I definitely don’t think that Wendy’s “Saucy Nuggs” were a flop.
