the 10-piece panel runs 640 Cal and 51g protein ($7.49 sampled) — 6.8g protein per dollar and 8.0g protein per 100 Cal. The 5-piece panel: 330 Cal, 26g protein ($4.49) — 5.8g protein per dollar, 7.9g per 100 Cal. Both figures are computed from the published panels on this page, shown in full below.

Per-piece values are arithmetic from the published 10-piece panel above (the panel itself is the verified figure), rounded. The 5-piece panel works out to about 66 Cal and 5.2g protein per piece — close enough that the two panels agree; the 10-piece derivation is shown because its full panel is the most complete label.

Are the nuggets a good high-protein pick?
By the numbers, yes for fast food: 8.0g protein per 100 calories puts the nuggets in the top tier of the menu's protein density, and at 6.8g protein per dollar they are one of the best value protein sources on the board. The sodium to watch: 2140mg for 10 pieces — 93% of a day's value, the figure that undoes most nugget orders. See the high-protein hub for the full ranking.
