Heyy everyone! So I was lucky enough to get a product from Applegate Farms to review! It’s their new family size bag of chicken nuggets
Now stop.. don’t hate me, no I didn’t eat them Mr. Not So Paleo did. But here’s the skinny, most of us have non-paleo people in our lives so we want to feel good about what non-paleo things we’re feeding them yes? This is the perfect product to feel good about if you’ve got a hardcore Chicken Nugget Lover.
From my stand point?: These were a great thing to have in the freezer, if I didn’t feel like cooking or he wanted a quick lunch for himself they went in the microwave for a few minutes and they’re done no extra dishes nothing. And they didn’t smell icky. You know how frozen chicken nuggets normally smell really weird and greasy and you feel like you need to take a shower after? Not these, my house didn’t stink or anything. The bags don’t take a ton of room up in my freezer and they last a while. I’m guessing you could get one or two family meals out of this bag if you pair it with a salad and something else {make that something else paleo, and you and them have an epic easy dinner 🙂 }.
Mr. Not So Paleo’s Point of View: They were good, didn’t weigh him down at all. He always complains of feeling heavy after eating stuff like this, but not with these. They were easy for him to make. He did say however that they were better baked in the oven, but they were one of the better nuggets he’s had in the microwave. It was a well balanced bread coating to chicken {yes I asked him a million questions about them lmao}, flavor was really good, and he was just an overall happy camper eating them. Would he want me to buy them? Yes absolutley. He wicked liked the bag because it was resealable, we’ve been avoiding buying him these in the past because they only came in boxes and would make a mess of my freezer or he’d feel like he had to eat everything in the box in one go.
Budget wise: I don’t have an exact price on these bad boys, it’s going to vary from store to store { they should be around $10.00 for the bag…}. But the fact that these are antibiotic free, humanely raised, no Nitrates, Casein Free, & No growth hormones makes it worth it to me. Also buying in the family size will reflect a slight discount then buying the equivalent in the 8oz boxes, so you’re saving money.
Overall: If you’re looking for something for the not-so Paleo people in your world that you can feel good about and buy for a good price these are what you want. Also these are something that I wouldn’t buy at full price if I had a choice, I’d wait till a sale hit or I found a coupon and then stock up on a few bags, that way me and my wallet feel good about them.
