I tried Burger King's revamped chicken nuggets. They're a much-needed upgrade.

I tried the new chicken nuggets from Burger King, part of the chain's mission to update some of its core menu items. They were an improvement.

Burger King has revamped its chicken nuggets after customers complained they were dry and rubbery. The new nuggets, launched on September 1, are crispier, better marinated and come in new packaging. Erin McDowell of Business Insider tried the upgraded nuggets and found them to be a much-needed improvement. The nuggets come in a cardboard clamshell box, which keeps them warmer during transit, and are larger and more unevenly shaped than before.

The breading is smoother and has a slightly puffed texture, giving each piece a uniform look. The nuggets were moist and savory with a slight sweetness, and the breading had a peppery taste. They were an excellent value for the price and could hold their own as a meal, rather than just an accompaniment to a burger.
