Chicken McNuggets are a popular fast-food item originating from American cuisine, introduced by McDonald's in the early 1980s. These bite-sized pieces are made from a blend of chicken breast and other chicken parts, seasoned, coated in a crispy batter, and lightly fried. They offer a convenient source of protein, but their preparation involves frying, which can increase fat and calorie content. The breading adds carbohydrates while the nuggets contain added preservatives and sodium for flavor and shelf life. Though they are not a significant source of vitamins or minerals, Chicken McNuggets can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. Pairing them with healthier sides, such as apple slices or a salad, can help mitigate the indulgent nature of this iconic fast-food item.
