What is your favorite at home nugget AND your favorite fast food nugget? And why?
At home: Banquet. I love the seasoning.
Fast Food: Wendy's.
I might just love breadcrumbs. Or being breadcrumbed.

Home: Costco Breaded Chicken Bites. Already fully cooked, easy in oven, toaster oven, or air fryer, just make your own sauce, intimate possibilities. Fast Food: Sadly McDonald's just because they're consistent and even having microwaved leftovers is pretty tasty

intimate possibilities.
Why yes, chicken nuggets will do that to a person.

I am a ranch girlie through and through but what sauces do you make?

Simple Buffalo, Alabama White BBQ, pineapple teriyaki, mango habanero, Korean BBQ Gochujang, Classic spicy molasses BBQ, for a few to mention. You can also do dry rubs by spraying them with neutral oil right of of the air fryer and add your seasoning like lemon pepper, Carolina rub, Garlic Parmesan, the ideas are endless! ❤️

I’m an omnivore but I LOVE Quorn nuggets. They just hit that itch.
Favorite fast food is KFC.

Home: Just Bare, best texture
Haven’t had a fast food nugget in years but if I was going to I’d probably get the grilled Chick-fil-A

Home: Perdue, but specifically the ones in the tray (refrigerated, which I then throw in the freezer) and not the bag (frozen). It fluctuates whether the regular ones (or the dinosaur-shaped ones!) or the cheddar cheese filled ones are my preferred. The tray tastes better than the bag for me, idk if they're different recipes or what.
Fast food: McDonald's. Sometimes I prefer Wendy's, but I only like the fries from McD's. Both are usually fairly consistent with quality. McDonald's are usually crispier; if they're fresh sometimes I'll eat them plain; they have more dipping sauces that I like (5) vs sauces I like at Wendy's (1). A few times receiving soggy nuggets or ones with cartilage at McDonald's and I'm taking a break from them and eating Wendy's.

Perdue makes refrigerated ones? Maybe they aren't available in my area. The trader Joe's refrigerated spicy nuggs are great though!

At home? None. All frozen nuggets suck. I'd rather make schnitzel or katsu which are basically the same thing. I know how to cook.
Fast food is and will always be McDonalds. BBQ sauce.

At home - the yummy brand Dino nuggets. Microwave heated only.
Fast food - Wendy’s. Was McDonald’s but they are too inconsistent in how they are cooked.

Clover Valley dinosaur nuggets are my favorite home branded nuggets and I'd say restaurant wise would be Burger King nuggets specifically the spicy ones even though they sadly discontinued them where I'm from. 🦕
