Chicken McNuggets® are bite-sized, breaded pieces of chicken that have become a fast-food icon worldwide. Originating from American fast food cuisine, they were introduced by McDonald's in the 1980s as a convenient, portable snack or meal option. Made with white meat chicken, McNuggets are formed into signature shapes, coated in seasoned tempura batter, and deep-fried to achieve a crispy golden exterior. While they are a source of protein, their nutritional aspects also include high amounts of fat and sodium due to their preparation method. Pairing them with dipping sauces can add additional sugar and calories. For those seeking a balanced meal, McNuggets can be enjoyed in moderation with lighter sides like a salad or fruit. Ideal for quick and satisfying meals, these savory bites are a staple of American fast food culture.
