Trader Joe's is expanding its selection of heat-and-eat offerings with the debut of its new Spicy Chicken Nuggets.
While there are plenty of chicken nugget products available at your local grocery store, Trader Joe's new Spicy Chicken Nuggets are a better-for-you option. The nuggets are made from all-natural chicken breast and rib meat, which is sourced from chickens raised on all-vegetarian feed. This means the chicken is free of any added hormones or antibiotics. The nuggets are also coated in a simple batter made from wheat, rice, and corn flours, and a hint of cayenne-based hot sauce for extra spice. The result is a tasty, fully cooked serving of chicken nuggets that requires little more than a few minutes in the microwave before it's ready to enjoy.
