It looks like I’ll have half a bag of these spongy, deep fried nuggets in the freezer for a while. A box of 6 nuggets at our local McDonalds is 4.29 (excluding chips and a drink) so this would need to be doubled to match up with Aldi’s box of 12. At McDonalds chicken nuggets come in boxes of 6, 9 or 20. With so many options out there these days for those who have to go gluten free, it makes these nuggets feel like a big FORK U to consumers.
