Chick-fil-A is upping the ante on its nugget-toting rivals. Rather than settling for just 20 pieces in an order, they've kicked things into high gear and started slinging out a 30-piece order of their nuggets.
Chick-fil-A Goes Big With Their New MASSIVE 30-Piece Nuggets Order
The heaping pile of nuggets comes in at $14.69, according to their website, and totals in at just under 1,000 calories for the entire pile. It’s easily enough to share between two people, or just to hog all to yourself for an epic cheat day.
Chick-fil-A’s 30-piece order is one of the biggest we’ve ever seen of nuggets in fast food. Only a couple are for sure bigger, and those came from McDonald’s, who has had 40-piece and 50-piece McNuggets available in the past. The number of popcorn nuggets in KFC’s $10 Chicken Share could also match or top that figure, but KFC has never confirmed exactly how many pieces of fried chicken are in that order.
Anyone who wants to get in on the massive pile of nuggets can do so now, as they’re available nationwide as part of a brand new upgrade to Chick-fil-A’s permanent menu.
