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."

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.
