Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve seen the chicken tenders and just assumed it also served poultry in a more nuggeted form; maybe it&#8217;s because when traveling to the land of curly fries and Beef&#8217;n Cheddar, who feels it necessary to order nuggets?<\/p>\n<p>I never had before, and, in case you don&#8217;t feel like reading a full review of Arby&#8217;s new Premium Chicken Nuggets, I probably won&#8217;t again. That isn&#8217;t to say they are appalling or abhorrently bad; they&#8217;re just\u2026 boring.<\/p>\n<p>Arby&#8217;s touts its new offering as having &#8220;100% chicken breast,&#8221; which seems legit and is pretty par for the course, I guess. It&#8217;s offering them in Arby&#8217;s kids&#8217; meals (as a 4 or a 6 piece) and as a 9-piece solo meal or as part of its &#8220;2 for $6&#8221; promotion, which also includes the Classic Roast Beef and the Classic Beef&#8217;n Cheddar. And while $3 for 9 nuggs is a reasonable deal in today&#8217;s market (Maybe? To be fair, I haven&#8217;t comparative nugget priced in a while.), you&#8217;d be better served doubling up on the B&#038;C, honestly.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/arbysnuggs2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Arby s Premium Chicken Nuggets Innards\" title=\"arbysnuggs2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The thing about these is that there is nothing special about them. The seasoning is bland (and by &#8220;bland,&#8221; I mean &#8220;non-existent&#8221;) and the nuggets themselves are drier than a mummy&#8217;s tongue. These things are no different than frozen nuggets that come from a truck that maybe you&#8217;d find at a neighborhood swimming pool or waterpark snack bar. Fresh from the fryer (and these were), they are hot and salty.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/arbysnuggs3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Arby s Premium Chicken Nuggets Shapes\" title=\"arbysnuggs3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, they are decently sized. Unlike McDonald&#8217;s or Wendy&#8217;s uniformly sized nuggets, these are all like snowflakes, like the kind you&#8217;d get at, oh, say, Chick-fil-A. The smallest piece was the size of two Hershey&#8217;s Kisses mushed-up together, and the biggest was the size and shape of an obese walnut. If you&#8217;re getting them for $3 as part of the promotion, it&#8217;s a reasonable deal; if, however, you&#8217;re getting them in the meal or as a solo item ($3.99), you&#8217;re moving out of the &#8220;good deal&#8221; territory.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you&#8217;re looking for a perfectly acceptable sauce delivery vehicle, these will do. You know, like almost any other nugget. If, however, you want a nugget that can headline based on the strength of its own merit, this isn&#8217;t the one for you. Arby&#8217;s would do well to stick with the RB and leave the chicken to those who typically traffic in bird.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 9-pieces<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (9 nuggets) 470 calories, 23 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat,75 milligrams of cholesterol, 1360 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 38 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until I sat down to write this and started Googling for background info, I had absolutely no idea that Arby&#8217;s \u2014 noted proprietor of meat \u2014 didn&#8217;t have chicken nuggets on its menu.
