About
Everyone loves School Lunch Nuggies! No matter what grade you're in (or what year you graduated), you'll always get excited for these perfectly juicy, deliciously marinated bites of chicken. Eat them however you please, but we highly recommend dunking them into your favorite sauce while munching on some crispy fries, too! Slide your tray on up for some School Lunch Nuggies... the lunch bell is a ringin'!
