Burger King Launches 100% White-Meat Nuggets on Sept. 1 After Thousands Criticized Old Recipe

Summary
Sept. 1 marks Burger King's U.S. rollout of revamped chicken nuggets made with 100% white meat, crispier breading and an enhanced marinade, with the product now served in a box instead of a bag.
Thousands of customer texts, calls and comments drove the change after diners called the old nuggets "rubbery," "dry" and "disappointing," prompting the chain to rework the chicken, breading and sauces.
Burger King is pairing the relaunch with a limited-time Special Savory Sauce and updated Honey Mustard, Buffalo and Sweet & Sour dips.
The nugget overhaul follows Burger King's February Whopper update, another customer-led menu change that fits the chain's broader push to improve food quality and customer response.
