Chicken nuggets are clearly big business in a small bite. Pilgrim’s, one of America’s largest poultry producers, announced its new flavor-forward new line featuring loaded, ultimate and mini nuggets.

Pilgrim’s Loaded Nuggets are available in Chicken Pot Pie and Cheesy Jalapeño. Pilgrim’s Ultimate Nuggets are said to be flavorful, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Inspired by the 90% of Americans who consume at least one snack a day, Pilgrim’s Mini Nuggets are a poppable treat that can flex between dinner time and snack time and are available in three craveable flavors: Zesty Ranch, Buttery, and Original. 

Chicken nuggets represent over 40% of the frozen cooked chicken market, yet the grocery store aisle is lacking variety with 97% of all new nugget products just being changes in pack sizes. Pilgrim’s mission to liven up mealtime has the brand going all-in on nuggets with exciting flavors and new innovations to satisfy America’s cravings. 

“Today’s consumer does not want to eat boring chicken, but the lack of variety in the frozen chicken aisle has left them with dry, bland, and forgettable options. At Pilgrim’s, we’re combating chicken monotony by reimagining what chicken nuggets can be,” said Sergio Nahuz, President of Prepared Foods and CMO at Pilgrim's US.

Pilgrim’s Loaded Nuggets, Ultimate Nuggets and Mini Nuggets will be hitting shelves across the country this summer.
