Fried chicken nuggets are bite-sized pieces of chicken, typically made from white meat, coated in a seasoned breading and deep-fried to golden perfection. Believed to have originated in the United States, they are a staple of American fast food and comfort cuisine, though their popularity spans the globe. The breading often contains flour, spices, and sometimes added binders, while the frying process gives them their signature crispy texture. Chicken nuggets are a good source of protein, but they are also high in calories, fats, and sodium due to the frying process and seasoning. Baked or air-fried versions can offer a healthier alternative. Often served with dipping sauces, they pair well with a variety of sides. While delicious and convenient, moderation is recommended to maintain a balanced diet.
