McD's Spicy Nuggz

I find it funny when fast food joints advertise their spicy (insert meat) sandwhich as "spicy". Maybe my tolerance for spicy things is too high, but they are barely spicy. Like anything spicy from McDonalds, Wendys, Taco Bell, etc.
Although, the jalepeno McChickens were soooooo good

I’m going to lunch today with my biological dad but tomorrow I’m going back to McD’s for a second attempt and will try with BBQ this time.
Day 2: Picked up another 10 piece and made sure they gave me damn mighty sauce this time. Also got a double cheeseburger for good measure to wash it all down this time.
The sauce. The sauce is definitely the star of the show here. It is a vinegar based sauce, so anyone that's not a fan of those should probably stay away, but with that out of the way, hot damn this stuff brings the heat. My mouth was pleasantly burning after the first 3 nuggets I stuffed in my face. I wasn't being shy w/ the sauce either, I was getting at least 3 good size dunks per nugget, and I actually still had sauce left when I was done. And I didn't count but I even think they gave me 11-12 nuggets at least. I definitely had more than 10.
The level of heat I was experiencing wasn't unbearable like I couldn't continue, but it definitely slowed me down
. The thing is it doesn't stick with you tho. If you stop for a few seconds and take a drink, it dissipates fairly quickly and doesn't hang around burning your mouth. But if you just sit there and stuff nugget after nugget in your face, you will feel it. The sauce DEFINITELY overpowers any taste the nugget may have. So I can kinda understand how it could be said that it doesn't matter if you have regular nuggets or not, because you're not tasting it either way. Yesterday when I was forced to use inferior sauce I did get more of the nugget flavor and spice from the nugget, but with mighty sauce, yeah forget it.
If they started doing other things w/ this sauce it would definitely draw my interest.
Still no O-ring blowouts yet either.

Popeyes spicy is in the sauce, not the breading. I hate sauce in sandwiches, so that's why my opinion is different.
I do not like McDonald's normal chicken nuggets without sauce. They don't taste like much. But what taste they do have is not appealing to me. A dipping sauce is a must to enjoy them.
The spicey chicken nuggets at least have some flavor to them. I could eat these on their own as the flavor isn't offputting. But is pretty light in flavor. Definitely not hot tho. The Mights Sauce is where the heat comes from. With normal nuggets, I will use two packs for a 10 piece. With the 10 piece spicey, I ate a 4 by themselves. Just to see if the flavor was there and worth eating by themselves. For the remaining 6, I didn't even use a full packet of Mighty Sauce. I still had plenty of flavor and heat. Without going overboard. I can have issues eating McDonald's. Between that and the fact some of you said you have issues, I figured I would approach these cautiously. haha The next time I get these I will use more of the Mighty Sauce and see how things go. I typically like vinegar-based BBQ and hot sauces. Even though the Mighty sauce is the star of the plate, it tastes weird to me. Something is off in the taste of it to me.
All in all, these were ok. I think they are an upgrade from the normal nuggets due to the flavor of just the spicey nuggets. The Mighty sauce helps bring up it's score. But I would say Wendy's nuggets are better than these. Wendy's nuggets do not need a dipping sauce to taste good. The dipping sauce just adds layers of flavor to them. But hey, it's always nice to have more options available than less. Do you hear that Taco Bell?!

So never had any issues with the Spicy Nuggets and sauce.
However the double quarter pounder with cheese and fries, washed down by a 10pc regular nuggets I had for dinner did take the fast track through my system. Also, the regular nuggets actually had a hint of the spice to them, wondering if they're both being deep fried in the same vat of oil?

I had my first bad experience with spicy nuggs yesterday (Sat) but not how you might think.
It was because I got them from a literal dumpster fire of a McD's down I-57 in Gilman, IL. These nuggs were stale, I mean literally. They'd likely been sitting way too long. There were other bad points to the visit but the nuggs were what I'd been craving all afternoon. I soldiered through and ate all 20, regardless. That was only because I didn't want to have to go back to the McD's, or to Burger King, to replace them with something I could enjoy more...
And these idiots want $15 an hour?

They are so kuch different than the regular. I don't think anyone should expect straight up Jalapeño spice, but they have an added layer of kick that really makes them worth getting.
i can believe that. that is why i dont get my kids nuggies kids meals at wendy's, might have to be careful now at mcd.
I dont get it....I'm not seeing what some of you guys are jizzing over. Do they taste different? Sure. I'll conceded they taste different but not in any measurable way. I definitely wouldnt say they taste "better" than the basic nuggets. I could differentiate them in a blind taste test but barely. The first one or two nuggets were better than I remembered but they rapidly fell back to just "ya these are fine". The mighty sauce is still the only reason to really bother.
I think I still prefer to the "crunch" of McD nugs to Wendys but the chicken inside the Wendy's nuggets is superior.
I kept a pack to try with Wendys maybe later this week.
Sorry guys, I'm not getting the hype.
