They are sold in five-, eight-, 15-, and 30-piece orders, starting at $4.49 for five.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>For a company best known for its Chickenjoy fried chicken, Jollibee sees nuggets filling a different niche. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Luis Velasco, senior vice president at Jollibee Group North America, said the company had seen growing demand for nuggets. Rather than competing with the bone-in chicken or its chicken sandwich, which Jollibee introduced in 2021 during the height of the \u201cchicken sandwich wars,\u201d they\u2019re intended as a shareable complement to the fried chicken sandwiches.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Jollibee also sells burgers, fried mango-peach pies, and Filipino spaghetti, a saucy dish whose sweet-and-savory sauce is loaded with ground beef, sliced hot dogs, and melted cheese.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Like the sandwich, the nuggets borrow from the same fried-chicken playbook. They are served with its tender sauce (similar to Cane\u2019s sauce), as well as creamy sriracha, honey mustard, ranch, pineapple BBQ, and chicken gravy, the usual accompaniment to Chickenjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2219\">After years of delay, a Francisville apartment building is under construction<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The nuggets drew a steady stream of orders at the Northeast Philadelphia restaurant on Friday.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>First impressions: They have plenty of crunchy nubs on the thin coating and a juicy interior.
