Fried Chicken Nuggets are bite-sized pieces of chicken, typically made from breast or thigh meat, that are breaded, seasoned, and deep-fried to a golden crisp. Originating in American fast food culture, these popular treats are now enjoyed worldwide as a quick snack or meal option. The coating often includes flour, breadcrumbs, and a mix of spices, while some versions may use batter. Though they offer a good source of protein from the chicken, they are also high in fat and calories due to the frying process. Commercial varieties may contain additives or preservatives, so homemade or baked alternatives can be a healthier choice. For a balanced meal, pair nuggets with a side of vegetables or a light dipping sauce to offset their indulgent nature.
