Kahiki says: Traditional Asian-style battered chicken with our famous sweet and sour sauce

Abi says: I have to start this review by telling you right now that I detest sweet and sour anything. Sorry folks, but I just don’t get how anyone can eat that pink goo that restaurants and food manufacturers try to pass off as an edible sauce. James Carville and Bill Frist might be able to settle their differences over a Diet Coke (did anyone outside of DC see and/or get a bit sentimental about DC/laugh at the Segway people while viewing that ad? I think everyone on Capitol Hill went ‘Awwwww’. Actually, we all said “Bill Frist? James Carville? What? Does America have any clue who these people are?” Weirdly enough, I’ve actually run into James Carville. Literally. I was just chatting with my friends and he and his buddies were moving at a significantly slower pace and boom! somewhat embarrassing moment. If you’re looking for a brief physical encounter with a political-type person, you’re much better off hanging out in front of The Palm than on the Hill. Uh, end of tangent.), but sweet and sour sauce and I will never get along. We will never play jinx. It will never buy me a coke:

So, about those tempura chicken nuggets (It is 7am and I’ve already had two cups of coffee): they are awesome. I really wasn’t ready to like these previously deep fried and then baked in my oven nuggets of white meat chicken. I was ready to dismiss them the way that I dismissed the sauce (blecchh), but when I sat down and actually ate them, I thought “Wow, the breading on these is light and it doesn’t overpower the tender, tasty chicken action.” I’ve never before had such elegantly breaded frozen chicken nuggets. Of course, chicken nuggets aren’t a regular part of my diet and my complete inability to enjoy sweet and sour sauce will likely prevent me from ever purchasing this item again, but if you’re looking to host a psuedo-Chinese food-themed party and you need an appetizer, then these chicken nuggets could work for you. They are infinitely better than anything I’ve ever had from Tyson’s.
