You have already seen where to get the best french fries, but what are french fries without nuggets to go with them? So, here is our rating for the best fast food chicken nuggets.

Chick-fil-A (10/10): The ideal chicken nugget. Crispy, tender, tasty. It’s hard to do a chicken nugget better than Chick-fil-A does.  Priced at 5 nuggets for $3.49, which equals 70 cents a nugget, you’re definitely getting your bang for your buck.

Wendy’s (3/10): Incredibly bad. Maybe it was the fact that Kyle ordered the spicy nuggets instead of the regular ones, or maybe Wendy’s was just having a bad day. Chicken was a weird texture and very minimal crisp. $2.75 for 4 nuggets, or 69 cents a nug, you’d be much better off finding a penny and spending your 70 cents at Chick-fil-A.

Taco Bell (7/10): Going in not even knowing Taco Bell had chicken nuggets, we came out surprisingly satisfied. Very crispy outside, very tender inside, a nice touch of spice. Definitely a sleeper pick. 5 nuggets for $3.99, or almost 80 cents per nugget and the second most expensive nug of the list.

McDonald’s (6.5/10): Everyone knows the McDonald’s nugget.  Tasted a little fake, although a very high quality crisp redeems them a little. $4.99 for 6 nuggets and 83 cents/nug, you’re not getting the best value here.

Burger King (7.5/10): Another sleeper pick, we went into BK with low expectations but they blew those away. Similar to McDonald’s but better, very tasteful chicken and a slightly above average crisp. The real value comes in the cost: $1.99 for 4 nuggets, and almost 50 cents a nugget, you’re getting the a great nugget for a low cost.

Wawa (5/10): You would probably assume that Wawa’s chicken nuggets would be average. You would be right. An odd consistency, but not bad. Had a little spice, a nice touch.

Helms, Ackermann, and Robertson will represent the Broncos against the best in the college ranks this week.

BOISE, Idaho — The first season of the Pat McCurry head coaching era at Boise State is off to a good start, as the Bronco Track and Field team boasts three qualifiers for the NCAA Championships this week in Eugene, Oregon. 

The trio represents the first time Boise State has had multiple qualifiers in the same year since 2021 and the first time they are sending both men’s and women’s teams to the championships since 2016. 

Emmett High School graduate Landon Helms qualified in the decathlon after scoring 7673 points on the way to a first-place finish at the Mountain West Championships. He becomes the first Bronco to qualify for the event since Kurt Felix back in 2012. 

Sophomore Hanna Ackermann qualified for the Women’s 3000m Steeplechase, the first Bronco to do so since Allie Ostrander back in 2019. The Germany native posted a time of 9:54.40 in the NCAA West Regional, seeding her at 13th in the 24 runner field. 

Ackermann has been working alongside Marisa Howard, who joined the Broncos as an assistant coach this year. Howard was an 11-time American at Boise State, and placed seventh in the first round 3000m Steeplechase in the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

Junior Kaiya Robertson will represent Boise State in the Women’s 1500m after earning a 12th place finish in the NCAA West Regionals. She enters the competition with the 22nd best time in the country after recording a personal best of 4:10.15 at the Portland Twilight earlier this season. 

The NCAA track and Field Championships kick off on Wednesday June 11 and run through the 14th. The first two days will be broadcast on ESPN, the second two days will be on ESPN.

Discus — Clearbrook-Gonvick senior Allison LaVine launched the discus 146 feet, 3 inches on her final attempt, surpassing her best to that point — and the rest of the field — by nearly 20 feet to take home the gold. Heron Lake-Okabena/Fulda’s Alabama Hoonhorst (129-11) and West Marshall’s Emily Marquis were second and third, respectively.

Triple Jump — Osakis junior Trenton VanNyhuis showed his versatility with a gold medal here by leaping 45 feet, 3.5 inches, and running on a record-breaking 4×200 relay in the prelims (see below). Aitkin’s Isaiah Baker (44-5.25) and Windom Area’s Job Ogeka (44-0.5) rounded out the top three.

Pole Vault — With gold already in tow, Staples-Motley junior Turner Beachy raised the bar to 15 feet and cleared it on his final attempt. Grayson Gibson of Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta went 14-3, Andrue Stalboerger of Melrose Area 14 feet.

Shot Put — The first throw for Blooming Prairie senior Owen Krueger got him to the top of the podium: 55 feet, 10.25 inches. That beat Canby/Minneota runner-up Cayden Anderson’s 55-8.25. Lakeview’s Jackson Staab was third (55-1).

Shot Put Wheelchair — Lakeview went 1-2 with Broden Stensrud (18 feet, 10 inches) and Terrek Jenniges (17-8).

DURHAM, N.C. – A school-record 17 athletes are set to compete for Duke track and field as the Blue Devils look to cap an impressive all-around season with a bang at the NCAA Outdoor Championships this weekend. The four-day national meet is slated for June 11-14 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

COVERAGE INFO:

WHAT TO KNOW:

  • Duke will be represented by 17 athletes – eight men and nine women – across 10 different events. The 17 competing Blue Devils mark a new program high, besting the 16 qualifiers in 2022 and 2023.
  • Graduate student Simen Guttormsen looks to complete the sweep in the men’s pole vault after capturing the gold medal at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Guttormsen capped his indoor season with a performance for the ages, culminating a stellar campaign with a huge personal best and program record of 5.71m (18-8.75 feet).
  • The Blue Devils head into the weekend ranked in the top 10 of the NCAA Championship field in three events. Freshman Joseph Taylor is slotted third in the men’s 400m, junior Lauren Tolbert is seventh in the women’s 800m and the women’s 4x400m also checked in at No. 7.  Graduate student Aliya Garozzo (11th) and sophomore Christian Toro (11th) sit just outside the top 10.

TICKETS PUNCHED – HOW THEY GOT HERE

  • Senior Max Forte was the first Blue Devil to punch his ticket to NCAA’s courtesy of a stupendous performance in the men’s decathlon at the Mt. SAC relays back in April. Forte parlayed a personal-best effort into a spot on the Duke men’s decathlon charts, posting 7,813 points to place fourth and move into No. 2 all-time at Duke.
  • Forte’s overall showing featured four top-five finishes across multis, headlined by a runner-up showing in the 100m dash (10.60 seconds) and a fourth-place finish in the long jump via a mark of 7.41m (24-3.75 feet).
  • Sophomore Christian Toro secured his first career berth to the national meet by way of his third throw in the men’s hammer throw that checked in at 66.86m (219-4 feet) – good for No. 5 in the East Regional field.
  • Simen Guttormsen finished among the top 12 in the men’s pole vault semifinal, passing on the opening height before clearing the next two on his first jump. The graduate student finished the competition with a final mark of 5.33m (17-5.75 feet) – sixth overall.
  • Sophomore Gemma Tutton punched her first ticket to the NCAA Outdoor Championships after finishing tied for fifth in the women’s pole vault first round. She passed on the first height then cleared the next two on her first and second attempt, respectively, finishing with a final clearance of 4.24m (13-11 feet).
  • Joseph Taylor turned in a stellar performance in the men’s 400m quarterfinal on the way to securing his ticket to Eugene.  The rookie posted the top time in his heat – 45.05 seconds – to earn the automatic qualifier, with his dash checking in third overall.
  • An impressive race by the men’s 4x400m locked up a spot in Eugene while unseating the program record in the process. Comprised of Taylor, graduate students TJ Clayton and Callum Robinson and senior Michael Bennett, the Duke quartet finished in the top three of its respective heat to notch the assured berth to nationals via a season’s best time of 3:04.47. Freshman Andres Langston, who also competed on the men’s relays for Duke during the year, is headed to Eugene as well.
  • Lauren Tolbert turned in another standout effort in 800m race with the junior notching a monster personal best en route to breaking her own school record and cementing herself among the NCAA Outdoor Championship field. Tolbert shaved over a second off her previous best and blazed to a finish of 2:00.27 – fifth best in the field – to lock down the instant berth.
  • The 400m hurdles saw the Blue Devil pairing of freshman Braelyn Baker and graduate student Aliya Garozzo turn in commanding performances to punch their tickets to Eugene and make their NCAA dreams a reality. The tandem placed in the top three of their respective heat and crossed the finish line in succession with Garozzo (56.46) narrowly edging out Baker, who moved into No. 4 all-time in program lore via a time of 56.48 seconds.
  • Representing the Blue Devils in the women’s 4x400m race, the quartet of Garozzo, junior Julia Jackson, senior Megan McGinnis and Tolbert clocked 3:27.87 – No. 2 in their heat and No. 4 in the overall field – on the way to registering the automatic bid. The 4x100m comprised of sophomore Mia Edim, seniors Abby Geiser and Meredith Sims and Baker posted a mark of 43.72 seconds to finish among the top 12.
