Chicken nuggets are bite-sized pieces of chicken, typically made from ground or finely chopped chicken meat blended with seasoning, coated in batter or breadcrumbs, and fried or baked until crispy. Originating in the United States in the mid-20th century, they gained popularity worldwide as a convenient, fast-food staple. While rich in protein from the chicken, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation. Nuggets are often high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium due to frying and added ingredients in commercial versions. Some brands use additives or fillers, affecting their overall nutritional value. Healthier options include baked chicken nuggets or those crafted with lean chicken breast and whole-grain coatings. Moderation and choosing less processed versions can make them a more balanced choice in meals.
