“So good. Have to go back soon. Loved it,” said one Instagram user.

”I’m all about this crispyness🔥,” said another.

The restaurant takes the classic concept of a chicken nugget and turns it up to 11. You’ve never seen nugs like this.

As of now, there are five different types that you can enjoy:

Veggie Nugs

These are meatless but DO contain eggs.

Nugs can be customized by tossing them in seasonings (Cajun, Old Bay, sriracha, tajin, tandoori) or made saucy in buffalo, golden BBQ, or sweet chili.

My mouth is watering just writing this.
