Pilgrim's Tempura Nuggets Outsell McDonald's Own Product

McDonald's iconic Chicken McNuggets have been a fan favorite since their debut in the 1980s. For those who crave them but don't want to leave home, there are grocery store dupes available.

A former McDonald's corporate chef shared on TikTok that Pilgrim's tempura chicken nuggets make a great at-home copycat. The product shows up on retailers' websites under names like Pilgrim's Chicken Breast Nuggets Golden Tempura Style and similar variations.

Viewers of the video confirmed that the nuggets taste almost identical to McNuggets, with one commenter stating 'They do taste almost the same.' However, not everyone was thrilled with the revelation, as some users lamented the increased difficulty in finding the product due to its popularity and subsequent out-of-stock status.

The Pilgrim's nuggets may be found under different brand names, including Country Pride, which is manufactured by the same company. Redditors reported that Country Pride tempura raw chicken breast nuggets were discontinued but can still be purchased in bulk through Gordon Food Service Store or U.S. Foods Chef'Store.
