The Best Chicken Nuggets in Tampa Bay

Many/most/all local media outlets devote significant coverage all the time to ranking the best local food. There is no shortage of articles about Tampa Bay’s best chicken wings, burgers, pizza and Cuban sandwiches. 

Lots of people hate all of those things. What about something that everyone loves? Of course we’re talking about chicken nuggets!

We set out to rank the very best small pieces of deboned chicken meat available in the 813 and 727 and it was a very tough call, but we felt that these five establishments really set the bar high. And it’s a complete coincidence that they just happened to be the first five places we tried before writing this.
