Chicken nuggets at Quickly Bubble Tea

At Quickly Bubble Tea on Buford Highway, “Taiwanese Chicken Nugget” is code for stupidly addictive popcorn chicken. The bite-sized puffs are Quickly’s version of Taiwanese salt-and-pepper chicken. Despite the name, the most prominent flavor comes from Chinese five-spice powder, a traditional blend of clove, star anise, fennel seeds, Szechuan pepper, and cinnamon. Cooked to order and piping hot, these nuggets succeed where spiceless American-style nuggets fail. And they’re served with the customary wooden skewers perfect for popping nugget after nugget without the threat of greasy fingers to slow you down. $3.48.
