If you and your family love to have a quick fix option when it feels like the week has gotten away from you and too many to-do lists have piled up, it’s nice to be able to come home and pop something in the oven knowing dinner is ready and you don’t have to think about it.

That’s how we treat chicken nuggets in our house. Usually on Fridays, when everyone’s brains are fried from a busy week, we eat junk food. Pizza, chicken nuggets, and nachos. On rotation. I kid you not – we have a designated junk food dinner day.

We used to go out to restaurants on Fridays, but as our lives have gotten busier, we realized that it’s nice to just be at home with very little pressure to get more things done – including putting on shoes to leave the house.

If you follow a gluten-free diet, you know that choosing some of these quick fix options isn’t always so easy. You have to pick a choice from the frozen food aisle, knowing that it’s safe for your gluten-free diet and won’t give you a reaction.

That’s why in today’s post, I’m digging into gluten-free chicken nugget options, and sharing what brands you can look for, as well as what their ingredients are so you can make some easy decisions next time you’re at the grocery store.

Are chicken nuggets gluten-free?

Most chicken nugget brands contain wheat flour in the breading of their chicken nuggets. This flour contains gluten, and therefore should be avoided on a gluten-free diet.

A manufacturer may also use gluten-containing ingredients in the chicken nuggets as a binder and to give a specific texture to the chicken.

There are a number of brands that make gluten-free varieties of chicken nuggets for folks who follow a gluten-free diet, so you can look for these options at the store.

Can I buy gluten-free chicken nuggets?

Yes, a number of brands now offer gluten-free chicken nuggets, making our lives much easier on busy nights.

You can find them in the freezer section of your grocery store, sometimes with other frozen chicken options. Other times, you may find them in a dedicated healthy food section of the grocery store.
