Chicken Nuggets V.S. Premium Select Chicken Strips V.S. Chicken Mcbites?

Hello everyone. Just this morning I was talking with one of my uncles about McDonalds and how great it is, and the topic of McDonald's chicken products came up. Now, I love their chicken nuggets more then anything - I grew up on them, and they were one of the "treats" I associated with my childhood. Moreover, I loved dipping the nuggets in the sauce, particularly sweet and sour, and I still do. I think chicken nuggets are just iconic of McDonalds, and the shapes that they come in are random, which adds to their appeal in my opinion. Of course many people raised the concern about "what kind of" chicken was in these nuggets, but it never bothered me, and they are definitely my favorite thing to order (which sounds strange considering that McDonalds is a "burger" place haha).
However my uncle was saying that he recently tried the Premium Select strips, and that he was blown away. He said the difference in flavor between the chicken strips and chicken nuggets was very noticeable, and that even though the strips cost more, he preferred them. He also said he that he felt more comfortable knowing that the chicken strips were "premium cuts" of the chicken, and not just an assortment like the nuggets. Personally I couldn't agree just because of my loyalty to the nugget, although I do think that these strips taste good (they are a bit pricy though).
Finally, I just recently discovered the new Chicken Mcbites that McDonalds offers (not everywhere apparently, which is why I've just seen them). These are like popcorn chicken from KFC, and I think they are pretty tasty. However they can't beat the original nugget in my mind, and without a doubt in a comparison of the three I think the nugget comes out on top. What do you all think? Which type of chicken do you prefer at McDonalds? Or do you ignore the chicken altogether and usually order something like a BigMac?

I am not much of a junk food person.I only eat mcdonalds maybe one a month or once twice a month but I personally like their new mcbites.It is actually yummy and can compete with the rest of those places with mcbites.Their nuggets are good but I feel like mcbites have more flavor and it tastes great.

This is very interesting that you say they are more delicious than the traditional chicken nuggets. To be honest, I haven't eaten these Mcbites that much, just because I am such a nugget fan, so maybe I will give them another chance. I agree with you though that more menu options like the McBites just gives McDonalds more opportunities to compete with other places - such as KFC or Popeyes' Chicken.

Not all the centers in other countries sell so many varieties. In my country they sell just the nuggets here. The taste is fine, but they are getting bad with the dips. Before they use to provide with the bbq and mustard sauce. Now i don't know what goes wrong where, they just give me 2 mustard sauce. Now what am i going to do with 2 same sauces?
I love their wraps instead they taste better than anything else. Nuggets are fine i think their taste must be different in my country.
