Chicken Nuggets

Chicken Nuggets

EverydayCooked

Chicken nuggets are bite-sized processed poultry products made from ground or chopped chicken meat that is breaded and typically deep-fried or baked. While providing moderate protein content, their nutritional profile often includes higher sodium and saturated fat levels compared to unprocessed chicken due to added seasonings, preservatives, and frying preparation. The characteristic crispy coating and uniform shape make them a popular convenience food, though they generally contain fewer nutrients and more additives than whole-cut chicken preparations.
