Bell & Evans Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

I bought the Bell & Evans Chicken Nuggets at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago and had been a little hesitant to try them because I was afraid I would be disappointed. I wasn't starving when I got home from work tonight so I figured I'd make them and if they sucked I could just chuck them and make something else.

WOW.... If I knew how delicious these were I think I'd have bought a whole case!!!! Exceeded my expectations doesn't begin to say it. Not only does it taste exactly like I remember a chicken nugget tasting but they are made with real, juicy white meat so it's not a nasty, fatty nugget.

I would truly buy and eat these even if I didn't have celiac!!!

I apologize in advance to anyone that lives in my area and can't find them at the White Plains, Whole Foods because I plan on buying every box! :P

I just had to add to this post after trying the Bell & Evans gluten free nuggets last night. It was a good thing I was starving, cause I ate the entire box!!! :D I was so pleasantly surprised by these. Made my night! I have tried Ian's gluten-free nuggets before and thought they were absolutely disgusting. I got the Bell & Evans ones at my local Whole Foods. Glad I bought two boxes!!!

Is corn one of the ingredients? If any of you still have a box of these, would you mind looking.

Thanks

Oh happy day! I'm sure my new WF store opening in late Sept. will carry them then. When I asked when the gluten-free beer was coming, they said not until the new location opens. Then the guy went on to explain they are going to have a larger gluten free selection that they do now!

I was so excited after reading about these, I went to my Whole Foods (Berkeley, CA) to find them and... Sadness, they have no wheat-free chicken nuggets. I will have to request they order them next time I go in, and request all the local gluten-free people I know to do the same!

I saw these the other day at my local Whole Foods, but I didn't buy them because the box said they are processed in a facility with wheat... I'm really sensitive and can't risk a reaction, has anyone else reacted adversely to these?

Do you know if the chicken nuggets have soy in them?

I think it says on their website it says these are made on a completely seperate line than their regular products so you should be ok. I haven't had any reaction.

I had these for the first time this weekend and oh my gosh are they good! My sister and I sat there eating them together (we both have celiac disease) and kept saying "wow" and "yum" throughout the meal! :)

Really they are delicious. Pricey though...$6.50 a box at my Whole Foods...

But they are worth it!

At first I was kinda thought they were a bit pricey, but then I realized I usually get 2 meals out of a box, so I figure that is only like $3.25 per serving. :)

That is what I am thinking too. Come to think of it, I think Bell & Evans regular chicken nuggets are not that much less in price...

They are just a high-quality product with a high quality price! If I can have something taste so good and is safe to eat, then the price is worth it!

I need to go buy more as I only bought two boxes as a trial run...

I agree with the positive reviews. I was so excited that my local WF got them in- I had been checking every week and all of a sudden there they were- I was several feet away but I started running towards the freezer case- I think I scared a mother and child browsing in the area. :P

I like the fact that we have a choice between tenders and nuggets.

i know this is well covered by now, but I had to go find the thread and post again. Just tried these tonight for the first time and they are really good. I used to eat weaver chicken nuggets all the time (before going gluten-free of course) and these are at least as good, if not better.

One tip- i find they're better when a little over-cooked. Take a little longer to get crispy than the box suggests.

Thank you for bringing life back into this post. I missed it the first time around. I'm going to go look for some tomorrow at Whole Foods. They sound great.

Been watching for these ever since the original post, but no luck. Can someone please please please post the ingredient list? I could ask to have them ordered, but need to be sure they're free of my multiple interolances.

Thanks in advance!

just wanted to ditto that they are yummy- taste just like regular chicken tenders- and i also broiled them on each side to get the crispy'er they were kind of wet/mushy on the breading until broiled.

i also got mine at whole foods :)

I read this post a while ago and when I made the 2 hour trek to WF I found them. I haven't tried them yet but I am excited.

I have been making my own type of chicken nuggets. I buy chicken cutlets which are very thin and cut them in half. I use Gillian's bread crumbs which even my gluten-eating husband likes and then pan saute them. I added mushrooms and swiss cheese the other day and topped it with a honey-mustard sauce I made. It was pretty good.

I'm saving the nuggets for one of those starving days when I don't want to cook.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
