A $9 chicken snack from Woolworths is being hailed as a ‘macro-friendly’ game changer – and it’s flying off shelves across the country.
The supermarket’s chicken breast bites have earned cult status online after a fitness content creator shared a now-viral video praising their surprisingly high protein content and low calorie count.
Namrita Nikita, known for her high-protein food finds, couldn’t contain her excitement in a recent clip.
‘I wanted to gatekeep it, but I’m not going to,’ she told her followers.
‘I need to put all of you on [the Woolworths chicken breast bites]. 176 calories and 16.4g of protein per 100g – are you kidding me? That’s the best macros for nuggets that I’ve seen on the market.’
Ms Nikita air-fried hers at 200 degrees for 12 minutes, rating the bites a 10 out of 10 for flavour, texture and value
‘Nice flavour, decent size, tender and moist on the inside,’ she said.
‘You can have eight of these nuggets for [fewer] calories and more protein than a six-pack from McDonald’s.’

She even shared her personal hack: ‘Go to McDonald’s and get 20 sweet and sour sauces so you can have these low-calorie nuggets with sweet and sour sauce at home.’
Unlike some health products which are plastered with fitness claims, the chicken bites aren’t even marketed as a diet food, which has only added to their appeal.
‘This is your sign to read the packaging. I was doing my daily walk through Woolies when I came across this new line,’ Ms Nikita wrote in her caption.
Others clearly agree. Reviews on Woolworths’ site and social media echo the excitement, with fans raving about the taste, convenience, and macro-friendly profile.
‘They’re so yum and high in protein. A lovely snack and so easy to make. I’m going to buy it more often,’ one shopper said.
Another added: ‘Family favourite. The family loved these chicken bites. They are on the more expensive side for chicken bites, but the family definitely thinks they are worth it.’
‘Delicious! These did not last long in our household. Definitely good value for money and they tasted great,’ another reviewer wrote.
‘A healthy alternative to some options currently available. We will and have continued to purchase these.’

Even toddlers are hooked.
‘My 2-year-old loves these and I have bought them several times now. They seem like a fresher, more wholesome version of a nugget,’ one parent shared.
Many customers have reported their local stores running out, with one fan commenting, ‘Love this product – it’s always sold out at my local store.’
