Nugget Nutrition and Allergen Information
Calories and Macronutrients per Size
Guests tracking nutrition should note that calorie counts increase with nugget count, and breaded varieties typically contain more fat than grilled. Sauces can add sugar and sodium, so portion control matters.
Allergens and Dietary Considerations
Wheat, soy, and milk appear in most breaded nuggets, while grilled nuggets have a simpler allergen profile. Always verify current ingredient lists, as formulations can change seasonally.
