McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken, created to offer a crispy exterior with tender seasoned chicken inside. Introduced in the early 1980s in the U.S., these nuggets have become a global fast-food favorite. Crafted with white boneless chicken, they are blended with seasonings and coated in a tempura batter for their signature crunch. Common ingredients include wheat flour, corn flour, spices, and leavening agents, alongside vegetable oil for frying. While high in protein due to the chicken, they are also a processed food that contains added preservatives, sodium, and fats. Their popularity stems from their portability and dipping-friendly design, with barbecue, ranch, and sweet-and-sour sauces often accompanying them. However, their high calorie and fat content, especially when paired with fried cooking methods, makes moderation key for maintaining a balanced diet.
