[[{“value”:”I always have a bag of frozen chicken nuggets on hand. Frozen protein chunks come in handy for a quick kids’ meal, and I also use them when I don’t have fresh protein on hand, adding them to a variety of meals. Not every chicken nugget brand earns shopper approval. What should you grab on your next grocery store run? Here are the 6 best bagged frozen chicken nuggets, according to shoppers.
Just Bare Lightly Breaded
Just Bare Lightly Breaded is a favorite among health-conscious eaters, who say it tastes like the real thing for half the price. And an added bonus? Kids like them too. I recently made them for my children and some friends. The response? “I didn’t know you ordered Chick-fil-A. I always keep a bag in my freezer. Although they are more expensive than other brands, you can buy them in bulk at Costco.
Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks
Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks are a warehouse-brand version of Just Bare and taste just like Chick-fil-A nuggets for even less. They are antibiotic-, hormone-, and steroid-free, and a 3-ounce serving has 16 grams of protein. “The Kirkland Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast are better,” one says. “I think the Kirkland’s nuggets are Chick-fil-A nuggets. I love them either way,” another adds.
Member’s Mark Southern Style Chicken Bites
Member’s Mark Southern Style Chicken Bites are another great fast food dupe, which some liken to a spicier version of Chick-fil-A. “These are so delicious and they taste just like Chick-fil-A. This is my go to meal. I just pop them in the air fryer and I’m done. My whole family loves them. They are very big pieces,” a shopper writes. Another agrees they are “Chick-fil-a knock-off chicken bites!” in another review. “If you’re looking for an at-home Chick-fil-A substitute…this is it! The kids absolutely love these! I think it’s the hint of pickle that sets it apart!”

Good & Gather No Antibiotics Ever Chicken Nuggets
Target’s Good & Gather No Antibiotics Ever Chicken Nuggets are made from real chicken breast, no junk. “I’m never buying a different brand!! The breading is wonderful, and the breast meat is amazing! Not spongy, rubbery, or fake! Plus I’ll save money because I’d even rather eat these than go out to our favorite chicken restaurants just pair with Chick-fil-A sauce, etc.” says one. “These are our favorite nuggets on the market,” adds another.
Applegate Naturals Chicken Nugget
Applegate Naturals Chicken Nuggets, made with humanely raised, antibiotic-free chicken, are a white meat-only nugget in a style similar to a McDonald’s Chicken McNugget. Other ingredients include wheat flour, water, and rice flour. They’re a genuinely OG kid-friendly nugget sold at a variety of stores, including Whole Foods, Target, and Walmart.
