Sam's Club released its Southern Style Chicken Bites last summer, and they immediately threw people into a frenzy—some even declared they're better than Chick-fil-A's nuggets.
Starting this week, you can now get them in the café at your local Sam's Club for only $2.50 (for 12-14 nuggets)! Not a member? You don’t have to be to eat in the café. In case you need a quick recap, they're made with 100% white meat chicken and covered with a crispy breading that has a hint of dill. Meet ya there!

Without fail, whenever I crave Chick-fil-A, it's on a Sunday. I know I'm not alone in this, because the good people of Twitter — and my equally nugget-loving friends — have backed me up.
But despite the fast-food chain's commitment to staying closed on the day of rest, there's a new workaround, and it comes from Sam's Club. The big-box store recently added Southern Style Chicken Bites to stores, and people swear they taste just like Chick-fil-A nuggets. They've even got the "hint of dill," making them taste more like a full Chick-fil-A sandwich (though despite much discussion, the chicken is not soaked in pickle juice).
Commenters on Sam's Club's website have said the chicken tastes "Just like Chick-fil-A!" and is "Very similar to CFA but you can make them at home — need I say more? They’re easy for nights I don’t feel like cooking or grabbing take out." A few people recommended putting them in an air fryer, if you have one at home.
A YouTube video with more than a million views shows one mom and son trying the new nuggets, along with homemade Chick-fil-A and Polynesian sauces, waffle fries, and loaded french fries. (Invite us over for dinner, please!) "I would swear that came straight from Chick-Fil-A y’all," she says in the video.
The red-checkered bag comes with a three-pound supply of nuggets, and can be found in Sam's Club stores for $9.98. The chicken is made with 100 percent solid white meat, FYI.
