Boston Market Chicken Nuggets Review

It’s not beauty but hey, why not, let’s discuss the new Boston Market Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets! I wanted to review these because I’m a nuggie kind of girl! Nuggies are my comfort food! I hope you don’t mind the food reviews lately. I find them fun and a nice break from beauty sometimes.

If you hate them, just scroll on or just tell me hey, these aren’t my thing.

But for now, let’s discuss these Boston Market Chicken Nuggets.

So, I happen to be a big fan of Chick-fil-A Grilled Nuggets…! There’s something terribly tasty about them when you drown them in Chick-Fil-A sauce am I right? I was intrigued when someone on Tiktok said hey, we’re getting Boston Market Chicken Nuggets as instantly I was like, “Oooo Chick-Fil-A dupe?

No.

They are not.

Oh my god, guys.

These are disgusting.

I headed over to my nearest Boston Market last night and I wasn’t particularly hopeful I’d find the new Chicken Nuggets but was delightfully surprised to see them available. They have two different versions of the nuggets both of which are rotisserie style and as per the brand they aren’t fried but prepared in the brand’s rotisserie oven. I got both the signature recipe nuggies and a small kid’s order of the spicy nuggets. It deserves to be mentioned I’m very much a spicy kind of girl but when I saw the spicy nuggets they looked kind of meh so I decided to just get a tiny order.

They offer four sauce choices with the nuggets which are Signature Sauce, Smoking Flame Sauce, BBQ Sauce, and Ranch Sauce. All the sauces but the ranch come in little clear containers. The ranch sauce is Ken’s ranch. I went with Ranch for my spicy nugs and Signature Sauce which I assumed would be like Chick-Fil-A sauce for my signature nugs (Bad choice! Tell ya more in a sec!).

I’ll say one good thing here and that’s the fact these look incredibly delicious. They don’t taste delicious in my opinion but they sure do look nice. They are bigger than Chick-Fil-A’s Grilled Chicken Nuggets and have a very plump, moist look to them. I was very excited to dig into them as the presentation is spot on.

The Signature Nuggets are incredibly salty and just taste really artificial. I felt like I was eating chicken grown in a lab. It just wasn’t a good taste to me. I can’t even begin to explain to you why I didn’t like them but they sort of squirted when you bit into them (yeah, a little too moist for me) and the saltiness was disturbing. I’ve had Boston Market’s regular chicken before and it’s quite good but these taste NOTHING like their normal Rotisserie Chicken. They just tasted like chunky, wet morsels of salt. I hate to say it but I failed to even get a proper chicken flavor from them.

I decided that maybe the Signature Sauce would help things along. So, I dipped my chicken nugget in and prepared to be wowed. This is a very thick sauce, very creamy, and very disgusting as well. I thought maybe they were going for a Chick-Fil-A dupe but I can testify this tastes nothing like it. It’s like they mixed mayo, ranch, and thousand islands dressing altogether. It’s absolutely horrible to my taste buds. It tasted too mayo-like to me. It was god awful. Thankfully, we keep Chick-Fil-A sauce well stocked in our house so, I was able to drown these nuggies in that which make them somewhat better to eat.

I was positive the Spicy Nuggets were going to redeem my poor experience with the Signature ones. But that didn’t happen….! First off, my Ken’s Ranch was awful. It was warm and tasted spoiled. That quickly went into the garbage. As for the nuggies they had a mild spiciness to them with a smoky hot sauce taste. I’m a later hater. I don’t like leftovers. Food just simply doesn’t taste the same when you warm it up a day later. Sorry, not sorry. And that’s what these tasted like. They had that weird refrigerator taste like you had them for dinner the night before and warmed them up in a microwave. They weren’t as salty as the Signature nugs but the taste was just as awful.

Overall, Boston Market Chicken Nuggets are a big, giant no for me.

I am hoping someone tried them! I need to discuss these with someone and make sure I’m not imagining how BAD they were.

Let me know if you tried them!

    Haven’t tried them but now I don’t want to! 🙂

    I actually haven’t been to Boston Market in years. I used to go with my family as a kid but the closest one to me now is very inconvenient.

  • CL

    Boston Markets are few and far between in my area. I got food poisoning from one of them a few years ago, and never went back. This food doesn’t even look good to me.

    • Isabella Muse

      I haven’t been in a stone’s age! But the chicken nuggets got me there and oh no, never again!

  • Mercury

    Although I’m sorry you had such a poor experience, I really enjoyed your review.

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL thanks! I know I do beauty here but I just wanted to do a just for fun foodie review 🙂

    Hey Muse, so I tried the nuggets when they were giving them out. Your first image looked disgusting. Mine looked nothing like that. They looked closer to the last image and I got the regular ones. We only had 2 sauces to choose from here. Mine were actually tasty without the sauces. I saw them being taken out of a smaller rotisiierre in the corner. I would consider them more of an appetizer or kids snack and could not build a meal around them so I would not purchase but they were not horrible. Maybe try a different location now that they have been officially released, maybe they have perfected it now. DQ has good grilled nuggets too.

    • Isabella Muse

      I am in utter agreement with you here because I really think maybe this was a location thing and not necessarily the nuggets? It can’t be there are that horrible. The sauces I’m not really a fan of but the nuggets were just…mmm…no. And I think I blame it on the location and not the food so much. Maybe they just didn’t put effort into cooking them!? I’ll have to try them again and see what happens. Sadly, DQ is like two hours from me but GOOD news is they do have one an hour from my Summer home! I’ll go and check those out as I really loved grilled chicken anything! I had NO IDEA DQ did them!

      I think you’re right about different BMs (sorry, had to) having radically different preps. Sometimes even different sides, per friends who like BM. I had their roast chicken at someone’s holiday meal. The salt factor was so heavy I drank water for days. By the photos, so revolting, I’d run like hell. Gimme some Bell&Evans at home with Asian sauce and call it a day.

  • MelloKitty

    Yikes those looked terrible! All of our Boston Markets shut down years ago but don’t think I’d run out to get them if we still had one.

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL now you won’t be tempted to try them if the Boston markets are all gone LOL that is, of course, if my review didn’t turn you off completely 😀

  • Michelle D

    Just like the commenter above said, the last time I ate at Boston Market, my family got food poisoning. Haven’t eaten there since.

  • Erica

    I like the food tasting post! Thanks for being brave and trying these.

    • Isabella Muse

  • Lynn Kentia

  • Nicole

    • Isabella Muse
