Friday's Featured Fast Food Favorite #12: Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets
During at least one semester of my college career, I was forced to eat lunch at the Student Union Building a couple times a week. You'd think that a place whose whole goal is to serve food to college students could do a better job at having decent food, but other than some ethnic options that I could never really trust, the only choices were a limited selection Pizza Hut, and a Chick-Fil-A. And while Chick-Fil-A seemed to think that a chicken sandwich (which supposedly they invented) is just a breaded ball of chicken with some pickles on it wrapped in a wimpy bun, thankfully their chicken nuggets are some of the best nuggets out there in fast food land.
Coming in packages of 8 or 12 pieces, and a choice of dipping sauces, you can count on these nuggets to be tender and not buried in breading. I recommend the BBQ sauce (the honey mustard is a frightening shade of yellow bordering on green), but if you actually find one of these place outside of the student union, they have more sauces to choose from then just BBQ and honey mustard.
The waffle fries here are also pretty tasty if you can get them fresh.

Now that I've addressed this week's FFFFF, I have something to say. This is going to be the last of the regularly scheduled Friday Featured Fast Food Favorite. I'm kind of worried that I'm nearly to the end of my Fast Food Favorites, and I'd hate to keep dragging a dead horse. Before I'd know it I'd be telling you how much I like the bigger straws at Arby's or how Wendy's salt packets are the best. While from time to time something may catch my interest enough to merit a one-time comeback of the FFFFF, I've decided that its time for the 5-F to be retired. Besides 12 is a nice round number. Don't worry though, this doesn't mean that Friday's will just be another day here at the Big Digital. Stay tuned next week for the debut of a brand new weekly feature.
In retrospect, here a list of all the FFFFF:

what about the hootie burger? you love that one! and wendy's salt packets actually are the bomb yo.
I'm sorry it had to end this way.
The Hootie burger, while tasty, always leaves me feeling sick for the rest of the day, and pretty much anything from BK is tainted by the fact that I ate it like 4 times a week last year.
I'm glad that you're at least keeping a weekly feature. I look forward to it every week.
CJ,
I refuse to take responsibilty for all of those bags. And the BK experience felt forced on me by a lack of available choices at the U Hospital.
maybe you could have a feature of fast food no-no's like meals that made you barf (literally or figuratively). i have had bad experiences with KFC buckets, McDonalds chesseburgers, and the BK sourdough burger.
I am pretty much in love with 90% of your picks.
