There’s nothing quite like Chick-fil-A nuggets. They’re tender, juicy, crispy, and simply delicious. It’s enough to make us wish we could whip them up at home whenever we want. Luckily, as it turns out, you may be able to get pretty close when you buy a bag of Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Bites from Costco.
That’s right. Everyone’s favorite warehouse store, known for their great deals, has something else to offer too: the perfect Chick-fil-A nugget dupe. Find all of the info below!
Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Bites At Costco
According to Taste of Home, Just Bare’s Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Bites, which you can find right in Costco’s frozen food section (alongside all their other delicious food options), taste just like the real thing. And that’s saying something, because Chick-fil-A nuggets are notoriously too delicious to compete with.

What’s more, these nuggets are also antibiotic-free, hormone-free, and steroid-free, packing in 16 grams of protein per serving, which means they aren’t only great for your taste buds, but they also can do some good for your overall health compared to other chicken nugget options. Overall, these chicken breast bites are definitely a must-try for any chicken lover, but especially those who prefer Chick-fil-A.
Just as with most of Costco’s items, these copycat nuggets are sold in a 4-pound bag (priced at $19.99, which shoppers swear is worth it) so that you and your family can enjoy them again and again. And from the looks of it, you’ll be coming back for more; the internet can’t stop raving about the taste and texture. In fact, Eat This Not That called them America’s #1 Favorite Costco Item last March, when they returned to shelves after selling out quickly across stores due to a spike in popularity from a viral TikTok video (seen below).
