Chicken Nugget

A breaded cube of processed poultry nostalgia/Food & Drinks

A single chicken nugget weighs about 17 grams and contains roughly 45 calories. The chicken nugget was invented by Robert C. Baker at Cornell University in 1963. McDonald's introduced their Chicken McNuggets in 1983, and they come in exactly four shapes: the bell, the boot, the ball, and the bone. Americans eat about 2.3 billion pounds of chicken nuggets per year.
