As a lifelong nugget lover, I get nuggets over a burger or chicken sandwich nine in 10 times.
Here’s what I thought about each option, ranked from my least favorite to best!
We Tried McDonald’s, Burger King, & Wendy’s Signature Burgersand This One Is Still the Winner!

I got an eight-piece order for $2.69.
They’re not necessarily bad.
Burger King’s ranch and barbecue dipping sauces didn’t offer much redemption.

They also had a touch more of that golden-brown color that makes a chicken nugget all the more tempting.
I would have liked them better if they were crispier, but the breading still had a decent bite.
Both the barbecue and the ranch from Wendy’s were my favorite out of all the options.

I got a 10-piece order for $4.99.
The look:These were the most attractive-looking nuggets out of the bunch and hands-down the biggest.
The battered outside was speckled light golden brown with tiny air bubbles and crispy bits.

The crownverynearly went to the iconic Golden Arches.
McDonald’s truly does it better than all the others except on one front: the seasoning.
At the very least, I would have liked a little more salt.

McDonald’s barbecue dipping sauce was a close second behind Wendy’s version.
The ranch, unfortunately, was almost as flavorless as Burger King’s.
Like the regular nuggets, these cost $3.59.
The look:There is a definite visual difference between the spicy and regular nuggets at Wendy’s.
The flavor of these nuggets was what blew me away the most.
The spice levels weren’t overwhelming, but they were strong enough to provide a pleasant tingle.
Between the crunch and taste, these were the undeniable winner of this rankingand my heart.
