I even tried dipping both nuggets into Chick-fil-A sauce, but tasting one after the other, the difference was still unmistakable. These Costco-stocked chicken nuggets made me think of the frozen popcorn chicken of my childhood, which isn't a bad thing at all, but it's no Chick-fil-A. There was a little bit of a spicy, white pepper kick, but nothing major - there is no hint of heat in Chick-fil-A's nugget flavor profile. On the other hand, the Just Bare nuggets were saltier and more directly savory. The flavor made me want to keep going back for more, and more, and more. It's such a distinct flavor, one I've never gotten from something savory outside of these little golden drops of chicken-y goodness. That's twice the price for something very similar. At other grocery stores, a pound and a half of Just Bare's product costs about 11, or more than 7 per pound. Costco sells a 4-pound bag for about 14 around 3.50 a pound. It's hard to put a finger on the quality, but it reminded me of the underlying sweetness of a pie crust. The price of Kirkland chunks beats Just Bare bites. Rachel Askinasi/InsiderĬhick-fil-A's bite-sized breaded chicken has a sweetness to it that I hadn't noticed until I pit it against nuggets made by another company. Inside, both nuggets were extremely similarĮven Chick-fil-A sauce couldn't make Just Bare taste exactly like Chick-fil-A. In terms of color, the Chick-fil-A chunks were, overall, slightly less yellow in hue. On the other hand, Just Bare was coated in what felt more like a flour-based breading which easily pulled away from the meat.įor those reasons, the smaller, crunchier Just Bare chunks were most similar to Chick-fil-A's nuggets, but the bigger ones were miles away in texture. When I took a look at the Chick-fil-A coating, I was able to see the consistency across chunks - crunchy bits held up, but soft bits never became soggy.Ĭhick-fil-A has an outer layer that's more like breadcrumbs that have completely fused with the meat itself. While some of the Just Bare coatings were crunchy and held up over time, others were softer and soggier and separated easily from the actual chicken inside. Though Chick-fil-A's nuggets aren't completely uniform in size and shape either, they were mostly all within the same range, about the size of a walnut. Some of the Just Bare white meat pieces were crunchy and the size of a bottle cap and others were softer on the outside and the size of my palm. Right off the bat, I could see a clear difference: The Just Bare chicken piece sizes were all over the place. The two brands looked similar, but not exactly like.
