Chicken McNuggets from McDonald's are bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken sourced from white-meat chicken. First introduced in the U.S. in 1983, these nuggets feature a crispy golden coating and tender, juicy meat inside, making them a popular choice in American fast food and global cuisine. The batter includes ingredients like wheat flour, spices, and oil, while the chicken blend contains seasoning and binders. Although they are a good source of protein, their preparation method—deep frying—means they’re relatively high in fat and sodium. Pairing them with dipping sauces can increase sugar or calorie content. While convenient and tasty, they fit best into occasional indulgences or balanced meals rather than daily consumption. McNuggets are available in varying portion sizes, making it easy to adjust their nutritional impact based on your dietary needs.
