The Global Sensation Brings Its Signature Crispy, Juicy Chicken Expertise to the Beloved Nugget, Complete with a Lineup of Flavorful Dipping Sauces

WEST COVINA, Calif., July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jollibee, the global restaurant brand twice-crowned "best fast-food fried chicken in America" by USA TODAY, is taking the industry 'by swarm" once again with the launch of its all-new Jollibee Chicken Nuggets. Available at all Jollibee stores nationwide starting tomorrow, July 2, Jollibee invites chicken nugget aficionados and all fried chicken fans to try the newest addition to its deliciously unique menu line-up.

Jollibee's new Chicken Nuggets are designed to satisfy the ultimate chicken cravings. The new nuggets are made with 100% all-white meat chicken breast and fried to crispy, golden perfection. Every bite offers a satisfying, crispy crunch on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. Fans can also explore exciting flavor combinations by pairing Jollibee's Chicken Nuggets with the brand's iconic gravy or one of five other dipping sauces for even more flavor with every bite.

Whether they're served as a quick on-the-go snack or a satisfying meal, Jollibee's new Chicken Nuggets deliver big taste in a fun, smaller format. Available in 5-piece, 8-piece, 15-piece and 30-piece options, the new nuggets are served in their own mini buckets, just like the classic Chickenjoy fried chicken. Fit for any occasion, Jollibee's Chicken Nuggets satisfy both sides of the ultimate food debate: Are nuggets a snack or a meal? 

This major product launch comes on the heels of the brand earning two prestigious 2026 TIME honors: a place on the inaugural TIME100 Industry Leaders in Food & Drink shortlist and recognition on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies list as an industry "Disrupter." True to its disruptive spirit, Jollibee is putting its own mouth-watering twist on the standard fast-food nugget with its new bite-sized option, made with the same quality and care that made its signature Chickenjoy fried chicken a global phenomenon.

"We are incredibly excited to bring our signature crispy, juicy chicken expertise to our new Chicken Nuggets," said Luis Velasco, SVP and Marketing Head, Jollibee Group, North America. "At Jollibee, we are always looking for ways to bring more joy to our guests' tables, and this all-new Chicken Nugget launch is the perfect example of how we continue to innovate and elevate fast-food favorites. The crave-worthy quality and high standards that made us the 'best fried chicken' in America can now be found in our new nuggets, and we can't wait for everyone to try them!"

Starting July 2, 2026, guests can order the new Chicken Nuggets in-store, via the drive-thru, or online and through the Jollibee App for delivery and mobile to-go across Jollibee locations nationwide.
