Walmart’s Copycat Spicy Nuggets Are ‘Way Better’ Than Wendy’s

The only thing better than enjoying fast food favorites straight from the drive-thru is enjoying them from the comfort of your couch. So, when grocery store brands start rolling out copycat versions of our favorite fast food items, it’s hard to resist tossing them into our shopping carts.

Walmart is one of the supermarkets that is leading the charge in fast food dupes, offering everything from Raising Cane’s chicken fingers to Taco Bell taquitos.

With McDonald’s fries stashed in our freezers and bottles of Chick-fil-A sauce stocked in the pantry, it’s never been easier to satisfy fast food cravings from home.

Well, Great Value has done it again, folks—this time bringing one of the most beloved Wendy’s items to the freezer aisle. But be warned, this copycat isn’t exactly for everyone.

Copycat Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets at Walmart

If you’re a fan of Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets, Walmart just gave you a reason to head straight to the frozen aisle. Customers think Walmart’s copycat spicy nuggets are just as good—if not better—than the famed fast food version.

Fully cooked and ready to heat, these spicy nuggets offer all the convenience of a quick snack or meal without the drive-thru. The fiery red color and black pepper flecks make the nuggets indistinguishable in a side-by-side comparison, and customers say they have the “perfect ratio of chicken to breading.”

Some fans say these nuggets aren’t just a solid copy but an upgrade.

“Walmart’s are way better. Add ranch, and you’re golden,” one fan shared.

However, most reviewers reached one critical consensus: these nuggets bring severe heat. Do not underestimate the spice in that unassuming bite—it’s “no joke,” according to shoppers.

“You will catch on fire if you eat those Walmart nuggets,” joked one Instagram user. “These are easily spicier than any fast food nuggets I’ve ever had,” said one user on Reddit.

If Wendy’s spicy nuggets already push your heat tolerance, the Great Value version is too hot to handle. But for true spice lovers, these heat-and-eat nuggets will be right up your alley. “They hit WAY above their weight class,” one reviewer shared.

Plus, they couldn’t come in at a better price. While Wendy’s charges about $3.50 for just six nuggets, Walmart’s version gives you a pound and a half for only $6.78. That’s way more snug for your buck.

So, next time a spicy nugget craving strikes, skip the drive-thru and head straight to Walmart. Pop these into your air fryer, add your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy a spicy nugget experience that might be better than the real deal.
