7 Fast-Food Chains That Don't Use 100% Pure Chicken In Their Nuggets

Before we get into the less than 100% chicken meat of the matter, let's make sure we're all 100% on the same page when it comes to chicken tenders vs.

Surprise, surprise! Those uniformly-shaped and uniformly-tasty McNuggets from McDonald's are made with more than just chicken on the inside.

Burger King's Chicken Fries may be very tender to the bite, but made with chicken tenders or even with 100% chicken meat they are not.

You go to Whataburger for the burgers, and that's as it should be. Because in the chicken strip "meat," you'll find "Southern style chicken breast fritter strips containing up to 12% of a solution of: water, isolated soy protein, salt, sodium phosphates."

Dairy Queen's description of its Chicken Strips says "all white meat" but that actually only implies a lack of dark meat, not that what is inside that breading is all meat.

We love Smashburger's burgers. And the chain's chicken sandwiches. And the new wings, even. But reading the chicken tender ingredient list is reason enough for us to skip ordering them.

If you're keen to eat only meat in your chicken, get it from somewhere other than this dominant pizza chain.

Go right ahead and crave those sliders all you want, but for the sake of your health, skip the Chicken Rings. First off, chicken doesn't come in rings.
