Last year, Costco generated significant buzz after launch of frozen chicken nuggets which some shoppers called a “dupe” for Chick-fil-A’s similar offering. Now, the warehouse club’s newest frozen chicken product is once again being compared to the beloved fast food chain’s crispy chicken.

This week, Costco fan account @costcobuys shared via Instagram that the warehouse club is selling new Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Tenders (240 calories per tenderloin) and called them “Chick-fil-A dupes.” Boneless, skinless chicken portions are fully cooked, contain 20 grams of protein per serving and are packaged in three-pound bags.

Several fans of the new frozen item shared rave reviews of the product in the comments section.
