Nutritional Information



Our chicken isn't JUST delicious - it's nutritious!

It's hard to believe something so tasty can be so healthy. Typically, unique flavors, special treats and anything that makes your mouth water just in anticipation requires a few extra hours of exercise to balance things out.  We're pleased to say our hormone free, low calorie no gluten chicken will allow you the luxury to enjoy dessert, also.

For over 40 years, we've kept the ingredients to the Nelson's™ family secret sauce locked up and closely guarded.  We must do this in order to protect and maintain the consistency and uniqueness of our products.  Although we are sensitive to those individuals with food allergies, in order to protect this uniqueness, we can only disclose limited information regarding items that are not in Nelson's™ secret sauce.  If you are allergic to any food item or spice that you believe may be in Nelson's™ secret sauce, we would suggest that you please refrain from consuming our products.
