The nuggets look like little fried pockets when they’re cut open. A TikTok user in Florida was furious to find their Walmart chicken nuggets completely hollow inside after they had cooked the snack. “Hey Walmart, where is the chicken in my Great Value chicken nuggs?” the cook asked.
“These are gonna need a lot of sauce,” the user wrote across the front of their video. While there is actually meat inside the nuggets, there just isn't a lot of it and it's all stuck to the breading. The Independent has requested comment from Walmart regarding the chicken nuggets.
It appears that the user isn’t alone, however. The video has been liked over 142,000 times, as other shoppers shared similar experiences with their nuggets. "Thats been happening to us too! We airfry our Walmart nuggets and it's more like chicken ghost nuggets," one user wrote.
Another user claimed they tossed out an entire bag of nuggets after difficulties with cooking them. “I thought I was crazy when they would just balloon up in the air fryer. I threw the whole bag in the trash after 3 times," the user wrote. While the hollow nuggets seem to have upset many users, others have thought of ingenious ways to overcome the problem.
“Though these are a defect! I would buy these and fill them with something like spinach artichoke dip or pepperoni and cheese and make little nugget pockets!” one user suggested. Another added: “Now you’re supposed to mince fresh jalapeño to add to cream cheese and shredded cheddar, mix well, and fill the empty nugget shells. You’re welcome.”.
