Chicken nuggets are making a comeback in 2025 with a focus on cleaner labels, honest sourcing, and quality ingredients.
Good Ranchers is leading the charge with seed oil-free, white meat chicken nuggets raised without antibiotics that reflect values of transparency and ethical sourcing.
Other notable brands include Applegate with organic chicken nuggets, Bell & Evans with air-chilled antibiotic-free nuggets, and Perdue's Simply Smart offering gluten-free options.
NUGGS provides a plant-based alternative for those seeking a meat-free option, while overall, there is a shift towards healthier and more transparent choices in the frozen chicken nugget market.
