Chicken nuggets are bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken, often made from minced or mechanically processed chicken meat combined with seasonings and binding agents. Originating in North America in the mid-20th century, they have become a staple of fast food and are enjoyed worldwide. Nuggets typically feature a crispy outer coating made from breadcrumbs or batter and a tender interior. While they offer protein from the chicken, their nutritional profile varies significantly based on preparation and ingredients. Fried nuggets can be high in unhealthy fats, calories, and sodium, particularly when purchased frozen or from fast food chains. Healthier options include baked or air-fried varieties made with whole chicken breast and minimal processed additives. Chicken nuggets are versatile, pairing well with dips and sauces, but mindful preparation and moderation are key to incorporating them into a balanced diet.
