Fast Food Chicken Nuggets Without Mom Guilt

Breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. Three meals a day feels like a LOT to prepare when you have little ones doesn’t it? Oftentimes the breakfast dishes are barely cleaned up by the time lunch time rolls around. So I scramble to clean up while throwing a quick meal on the table. Other days we’re out running errands and within about 30 seconds my sweet kiddos turn incredibly “hangry” and if I don’t get food in their tummies fast, meltdown mode is just around the corner.I think through where we could stop for a quick bite to eat that I’d feel good about. And of course wherever it is needs to have a drive-thru because bringing four kids three and under into a restaurant at this point is like walking into an ambush. Recently, I was reminded of an option that’s been there all along. It’s a place that just debuted their Popcorn Chicken Nuggets. They are double breaded and crispy, just like my kids like them, BUT they are also 100% white meat. They are never formed or pressed into shapes like the competition. Where can you have a “Nugget-vention” like I did? KFC! 

Yep, the other day we visited our local KFC, and I was able to order Popcorn Nuggets that I didn’t feel guilty about. And you know what? My kids LOVED them. They are truly perfect for busy moms and parents seeking 100% white meat chicken and the crispy crunch that our kids love.

The whole experience at KFC was a great one. We called ahead when we were on the way, and by the time we arrived we simply had to pull up to the drive thru and picked up our meal within a couple minutes. A few minutes later, we were home with a meal that everybody was excited about.

My kids DEVOURED them. One thing I really liked about them were their size. They were bite-sized, and very easy for my kids to pick up and pop in their mouths. I also loved that I was able to order green beans to serve with them, and that my husband and I were able to order their grilled chicken which was delicious too.

If you have a KFC near you, I’d definitely choose them over the competition the next time you’re out and about and need a quick meal for your kiddos. They don’t come with a toy, but you won’t even care!
