Japanese Inspired Tatsuta-Age at Costco
These chicken nuggets are made by the brand Authentic Asia, and are advertised as "a taste of true Japanese culinary art." Found in the freezer section, you can purchase a 3lb bag of what the brand describes as "lightly breaded dark meat chicken raised with no antibiotics ever, marinated in a ginger- and garlic-infused sauce" for only $14.49. What's not to love?
Perfect for kids who seem to be able to eat chicken nuggets for every meal, or adults looking for an easy way to top a salad or get some protein in. Just pop a few in the air fryer and heat up the sauce and you'll be ready to go within 10 minutes.
Superfans Love Costco's New Chicken Nuggets

One person loves them so much that they created a thread in the Costco subReddit urging people to try them.

Please go and buy it so they won't stop stocking it!"
"Dark meat nuggets?" one person commented. "Sign me up!"
"They were so good in Japan when I visited, I will definitely give these a try!" said another customer.
"I just sampled this in the store and immediately bought a bag," shared another user.
"Just had it," another said. "Holy hell! Super close to homemade/fresh."
"Run, don't Wok!" joked a final superfan.
