Product developers at Tyson Foods Inc. have launched a new and exciting product: Razorback Nuggets. These innovative chicken nuggets are crafted to resemble the University of Arkansas' beloved Razorback mascot, reflecting the deep-rooted connection between the university’s sports teams and their loyal fan base.
The Razorback Nuggets are made from high-quality white chicken meat, appealing to a broad range of palates. Tyson’s creation has been officially named the "official nugget of the Arkansas Razorbacks," a nod to the strong bond between the product and the university.
The nuggets are packaged in 4-pound resealable pouches, each featuring an illustration of the Razorback mascot and the university’s iconic Hog Call (“Wooo Pig Sooie”) prominently displayed across the top. The delicious Razorback Nuggets provide 13 grams of protein and take seven minutes to cook in an air fryer oven.
