15. Jack in the Box

These nuggets have only a whiff of texture in the chicken, the exterior breading is soggy and unpleasant, and there is no crispness. Only the seasoning is okay.

14. Sonic Drive-In

This popcorn chicken has a mealy textured interior encased in overly crisp breading. The sparse chicken has no flavor, and the one redeeming quality was the salt.

13. Arby's

While Arby’s nuggets use white chicken breast, the flavor is brief and muted. The breading provides a satisfying crunch, but the flavor is once again too subtle.

12. Burger King

The chicken nuggets at Burger King are very juicy, but the meat has a flimsier texture, and the exterior breading is not quite crispy enough.

11. Wingstop

Wingstop’s boneless wings have flaky white meat imparts a good chicken flavor, but the breading is extremely thick and throws each bite off balance a bit.
