The Plate Up Chicken Nugget Play-Off...
Nuggets... y'know, for kids...
Our five-year-old food critic gives her verdict on the best of five fast-food outlet chicken nugget meals...
A clear winner are 'Chicken Tenders' from Denny's Diners (sampled in and around Orlando, Florida), served with 'High Diving Vegetables' and choice of dips. Agreed, they were freshly cooked, tender, flavoursome, with a mild but sophisticated mix of herbs and spices flavouring the coating that was dry and crisp enough, without being hard, chewy or oil-logged... and accompanied with healthy fresh cut vegetable sticks. Also exceptional value.
Highly commended runners-up, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) present light, bite-sized nuggets they call 'Popcorn Chicken' and are a firm favoutrite (sampled in Llandudno, Bangor, Chester, Southport, London, and some motorway service stations). Perhaps a bit spicier than would be expected to please a young palate, and so popular with older children and adults too. They have never failed to satisfy, with the possible exception of the Southport branch where they were "too peppery".
McDonald's, supposedly classic, dipping 'Chicken Nuggets' got the thumbs down (sampled in London and a few motorway service stations) - the verdict was "rubbish" with "yucky sauce". Perhaps we've been unlucky, but these processed pieces have always been a disappointment with a soggy coating that has more flavour than the textured lump it surrounds... unfortunately that flavour has been mainly the frying oil and little else. The dipping sauces (Tomato and BBQ) bravely attempt to rescue the taste experience, but tend to taste like they have come out of little plastic containers, which, of course, they have... The 'Filet-O-Fish' fared much better when sampled in a few branches in France...
The 'Chicken Nuggets Kids Deal' from Blaenau Take Away are consistently good and well received. They have, on occassion, been proclaimed "better than Denny's", so have become a savoured treat, and always satisfy with their combo of excellent chips, a choice of sauce and a drink.
Burger King is a good all-rounder and their 'Spicy Bean Burger' is probably the best vegetarion choice on offer from any of the major fast food vendors. So, not surprisingly their 'Chicken Nuggets' do the job and are always enjoyed. They are, in fact, "tasty"...
