Applegate introduces family-size package for chicken nuggets

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — Applegate Naturals has introduced a new package size for its chicken nuggets.

The new family-size, 16-oz. package contains about 36 chicken nuggets made with farm fresh chicken that was raised humanely and never administered antibiotics, the company said.

"Kids love chicken nuggets, but parents usually try to limit them because they've become synonymous with unhealthy processed food," said Chris Ely, Applegate co-founder and farmer liaison. "With Applegate Naturals Family Size Chicken Nuggets, families can easily stock up on a favorite and enjoy the great taste and satisfying crunch of a chicken nugget without feeling guilty."

The suggested retail price for Applegate Naturals family size chicken nuggets is $9.99.
