Chicken Nugget

Chicken nuggets are small, bite-sized pieces of chicken coated in a breading or batter and cooked by frying or baking; they can be made from whole-muscle meat or processed chicken and vary by recipe and preparation. Commonly eaten as a snack or part of a meal with dipping sauces and sides, people track them to record portion sizes and monitor nutrient and ingredient information such as calories, protein, fat, sodium, and potential allergens.
