McNuggets are bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken, originating from American fast-food cuisine. Made primarily from ground chicken, McNuggets typically contain a blend of meat, water, seasoning, and binding agents, which are coated in a crispy batter. Their golden exterior is achieved through deep frying or baking, giving them their signature crunch. While they are a convenient source of protein, McNuggets are high in calories, sodium, and fats, particularly if fried. They may also contain preservatives to maintain texture and flavor. Though they can be paired with a variety of dipping sauces, this can add further sugar and sodium. Health-conscious options include baked versions or smaller portions eaten alongside vegetables for balance. McNuggets remain a popular comfort food, appealing for their portability, texture, and flavor.
