Nuggets are bite-sized portions of chicken, traditionally made from minced chicken breast shaped into small, uniform pieces and coated in a crispy breading. Popular in Western cuisine, they were first introduced in the mid-20th century as a convenient, protein-rich food. Nuggets are typically seasoned with spices and can be fried, baked, or air-fried. While their lean chicken base offers a good source of protein, the breading and frying process can add unhealthy fats and excessive sodium, depending on preparation methods. Healthier versions often use whole grain coatings, minimal oil, or opt for baking to reduce added fats. Vegetarian and plant-based versions made with soy or pea protein are also widely available, offering alternatives for varied dietary needs. Nuggets are versatile and enjoyed as snacks, meals, or paired with dips and sides, making them a global favorite for quick, satisfying bites.
