<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I eat chicken nuggets, either from Wendy\u2019s or another fast food chain, I tend to eat them without any sauce. That delectable fried chicken flavor is enough for me, and I don\u2019t need to muddy it up with many other flavors. Hear that, all you kids with your fancy nugget-dipping sauces? Get off my lawn! (Wait, actually, come back and mow my lawn. Please? I\u2019m begging you.)<\/p>\n
Now Wendy\u2019s has laughed in my face by putting out a whole line of nuggets that are absolutely drenched in sauces. And, of course, they come with extra dipping sauces, so you can have some sauce in your sauce. Naturally, I was skeptical but intrigued by this opportunity to see how the other half lives.<\/p>\n
There are four main varieties, but technically, there are seven: The Honey BBQ, Buffalo, and Garlic Parm all come in spicy or not-spicy versions, depending on whether they are prepared with Wendy\u2019s Spicy Chicken Nuggets as the base product. To me, the non-spicy version represents the default version, so that\u2019s what I went with. The Spicy Ghost Pepper Nuggs, however, are only made in the spicy variety because a Ghost Pepper-branded food that isn\u2019t spicy makes no sense.<\/p>\n
As I\u2019ve noticed with other fried chicken products, like Pizza Hut\u2019s WingStreet boneless wings, the sauce application is a little bit haphazard. Some pieces were absolutely drenched in sauce, while others only had a little spotting of it. You can rectify this by using your nugget as a little sponge to soak up the sauce on the bottom of the plastic tray, which sometimes works.<\/p>\n
The Saucy Nuggs come with Ranch and Blue Cheese dipping sauces, as you would expect. Even though I typically skip this option, I did try the Nuggs with them this time for the sake of being thorough. I know. My commitment to chicken-based journalism knows no bounds.<\/p>\n
On the whole, I was impressed with Wendy\u2019s latest offering.<\/p>\n

This uses a textbook-standard honey barbecue sauce on the sweeter end of the spectrum. They are perfectly fine but not remarkable in any way. It makes for a good blank canvas if you\u2019re really planning on going to town on the ranch and blue cheese.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The perfect level of mild spice that mixes well with the dipping sauces, and the classic pairing of Buffalo sauce with blue cheese is a winner. This is exactly how spicy I like my food, and I would definitely order these again. These made me a little nostalgic for the brief time I actually lived in Buffalo when I didn\u2019t eat the wings nearly as often as I should have.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The big surprise of the lot. The garlic and parmesan flavors are clearly discernible, but neither is overpowering; it\u2019s a surprisingly delicate flavor. The texture is also different from the other nuggets, more closely resembling a nice, crunchy piece of real fried chicken, greasy but in the best way. Either the ranch or the blue cheese will obliterate the subtle flavor, so be sure to have these naked. The question with these is not whether I will order them again, but \u201cHow long will they be on the menu? Please say it\u2019s the whole summer!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The wildcard: Just how spicy were these going to be? I was timid, so I took my GP nugg with a healthy dollop of blue cheese to balance out the heavy spicing. Even with the cooling agent of the dipping sauce, the heat in the back of my throat from just one of these things was nearly more than I could handle. Fortunately, my husband is one of those people who asks for the maximum spice level when we go out for curry, so he was able to field this one for me and eat the rest of them. He said they were great and that these, and the Garlic Parm, were the ones he would definitely order again.<\/p>\n
So, all in all, it was a rather good outing for our intrepid redhead, who I would say has been on a roll lately\u2026except for the new Triple Berry Frosty. Hey, even Babe Ruth didn\u2019t hit a home run every time he stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n
