With the demand for plant-based alternatives showing no signs of slowing down, Fatburger has expanded its menu to include new Impossible Chicken Nuggets.
The new Impossible Chicken Nuggets Made from Plants are a meat-free take on your standard chicken nuggets. Instead chicken, the nuggets consist of a meat-free blend of ingredients that results in springy white meat-like texture and a distinct chicken flavor. The nuggets also feature a crispy breadcrumb coating on the outside, which gives them that distinctive crunch.
While this may not be the first plant-based dish to grace Fatburger's menu, this is the first time the brand has offered chicken nuggets (in any form). And with this major launch, Fatburger has also become the first restaurant chain in the U.S. to debut the new Impossible Chicken Nuggets across all of its locations.
