Wendy's has several charms. Wendy's fries are our favorite (out of a panel of 12), it's offering free Frosty treats for 2024, and its crispy chicken nuggets are always a hit.
Saucy nuggets are a new menu item that makes us appreciate a chain even more. Instagram food account Snackolator reported that Wendy's is testing a new chicken nugget.
Shaking the new nuggets completely coats them in tasty sauce. Honey BBQ, Buffalo, ghost pepper, and garlic parmesan sauces are available.
Some users said, “They had something similar to this like over a decade ago and it was dope,” and many compared it to Wendy's 2009 boneless wings, which were short-lived but warmly recalled.
Similar analogies were made on Wendy's Reddit thread, where the original sauce photographs appeared.
Just one issue with the new menu item? They're only available in Ohio as a test release. We checked with Wendy's. Wendy's spokeswoman said, "These Ohio restaurants are testing Saucy Nuggs.
Wendy's culinary team tests new menu items inspired by fan demand in Columbus, a great test market for early ideas.
