What is it?
Chicken McNuggets are bite-size pieces of formed white-meat chicken in a tempura-style batter, par-fried and finished in the restaurant fryer. They launched nationwide in the US in 1983, shaped into four standard forms nicknamed the boot, bell, ball and bone.
A ten-piece box is a common shared snack, passed around car seats and office desks from Chicago to Hong Kong, where cold nuggets somehow still sell in 30°C humid summers. Sweet and sour, barbecue and honey mustard are the usual dips.
The coating is thin and crisp, the inside soft and even. Each sauce tub adds its own sugar and energy.
