Walmart is leading the charge in offering grocery store versions of popular fast food items, allowing customers to satisfy their cravings from the comfort of home. The retail giant’s Great Value brand has now brought one of Wendy’s most beloved items to the freezer aisle: spicy chicken nuggets.
Walmart’s copycat nuggets are fully cooked and ready to heat, providing the convenience of a quick snack or meal without the drive-thru. Customers report that the nuggets are nearly indistinguishable from Wendy’s version, with a fiery red color, black pepper flecks, and the perfect ratio of chicken to breading.
In fact, many fans believe Walmart’s spicy nuggets are even better than the original. “Walmart’s are waaaaaay better. Add ranch and you’re golden,” shared one enthusiastic customer.
However, reviewers unanimously agree that these nuggets pack serious heat. “You will catch on fire if you eat those Walmart nuggets,” joked an Instagram user. Another Reddit commenter stated, “These are easily spicier than any fast food nuggets I’ve ever had.”
For those who find Wendy’s spicy nuggets too hot to handle, Walmart’s version may be too much to bear. But for true spice lovers, these nuggets hit “WAY above their weight class,” as one reviewer put it.
The best part? Walmart’s spicy nuggets offer significantly more bang for your buck. While Wendy’s charges around $3.50 for just six nuggets, Walmart’s version provides a pound and a half for only $6.78.
So, the next time a spicy nugget craving strikes, skip the drive-thru and head to Walmart. Pop these nuggets in the air fryer, add your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy a spicy experience that may just surpass the original fast food favorite.
