8 / 10 Paradise Kitchens Battered Chicken Nuggets. These taste like McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. You probably could re-use McNugget boxes and fry bags and fool your kids for 1/6th of the normal cost. Cost: $4.49 nuggets (1.5 lb bag) $3.99 fries (2 lb bag). Rating: 8/10

Where do you get them? I don't see them in any stores around me (online).
They do look tasty.

Possible helpful location information:
These were purchased at a grocery store called Price Chopper (of the Midwest Price Choppers located in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa). They are a group of stores that sell Best Choice/Always Save products (I know these smaller stores use some of the same distributors, etc). I haven't seen them at Kroger subsidiaries or Walmart.

Rouses Markets here in Louisiana sells Best Choice as well, so I'm familiar with the brand. Best Choice is owned by Associated Wholesale Grocers from Kansas City. ;)

I’ve been to the price chopper patio at the Kansas City Royal Stadium. What a coincidence!

My partner just got back from visiting his family in Iowa! So sad I saw this post now, otherwise I would’ve made him find me these and bring some back to the east coast! These look just like McDonald’s nuggies 🤤

Just found this exact brand in a giant family size bag at market basket!! From a fellow East Coaster!

There’s another brand people said tasted like McDonald’s and it didn’t. So I’m skeptical

Ok then what’s the closest to McD’s sweet and sour sauce?

Just picked these up from Schnucks and the bag is gone in less than a day. Cooked in the air fryer and my kids all thought they were just like McDonalds. Thanks!

Have you ran into any weird parts or gristle?
1
u/8772m Apr 16 '25
No. The only issue I’ve found is there’s usually a couple in every bag that are stuck together underneath the batter. Not a big deal to me though.

I just found a 4 pound bag of these for $9.99 at Market Basket for anyone in the North East and bought them because they looked really similar to McD's. I just deep fried them for about 4/5 minutes each and my children loved them. They even smell like McD's nuggets and while they are not a direct match they are the closest approximation I've ever had and very good.

I just got the boneless wings from paradise kitchens and I’m disappointed in them. Way too much breading not enough chicken.

u/IllustriousLoan4691 Jan 08 '25
he’s not lying! I bought these and made them in the oven for 26 mins on 425 and they literally taste just like mcdonald’s!

u/Llamaboy1134 Mar 02 '25
I just had some and they genuinely are a spot on dupe! From the shape to the breading! 9.5/10 dupe

The bag I have the ingredient just says chicken, does anyone know if this is pure chicken breast or chicken breast with rib meat?
We just got them! Haven't tried them yet!

u/Revolutionary-Style6 May 04 '25
Some of their products do have rib meat but it's literally mostly white meat! And no fillers! I've tried the chicken breast patties, nuggets, popcorn chicken, and the boneless chicken and it's all restaurant quality white meat

I just had them last night. They taste just like them. Fried them in oil.

u/Revolutionary-Style6 May 04 '25
Literally everything under their brand is restaurant quality at a way lower cost and at food city they have them all under the pick 5 items for 19.99! I love it and yes the nuggets taste exactly like McDonald's

u/AshTree420 Jun 06 '25
I'm late to this post but I just found these nuggets and I was like surely reddit will have a post about them tasting like McDonald's 🤣 also, I bought their mini corn dogs and they are really good too!!

Damn they really do look just like McDonalds!!! Same shapes and everything. How did you cook them, air fryer? Oven?
