Yeah. If my only culinary triumph was the chicken nugget, I sure wouldn't brag about it.

Besides, McNuggets are nothing more than a sauce conveyance vector...

Silly putty and lighter fluid, mmmmmm...

They're fish sticks with a chicken-like substance inside. I remember disliking fish sticks when I was a kid, before McDonalds started McNuggets.

McNuggets are hands down the best chicken nugget I've ever experienced, on average.

Sure, you can find the occasional nuggets that beat them here or there, but those places are never chains. Most of the time what you get is equal or inferior.

So totaling it up, the McNugget is always a safe bet.

Just so it's clear, I have NEVER been under the impression that McDonald's had invented chicken nuggets. I'm not sure the "myth" you're trying to dispel is even a myth at all, Submitter.

McNuggets are tasty.

Chik-Fil-A's nuggets are far, far better than McDonald's, and they're a chain.  Nothing but real breast meat breaded and fried, not that goop inside a McNugget.

Wendy's makes good nuggets.

McD's is real chicken breast. Now, anyway. I think they used to just put whole chickens in a blender.

There's actually chicken in a McNugget?

Yeah but it's still processed breast meat that's glued together.  CFA's are actual cut pieces of breast meat.

And I'm supposed to believe that why? Because some writer wrote some words down on a website? The only citation I see is "a few obituaries".

Anybody can write anything as an obituary.

No they are not. And they contain fish.

Isn't this a McRepeat?

Teh Wiki.  *shrug*

Leonardo da Vinci came up with the idea of the tank. We don't give him credit for inventing it

I have nothing to add, I just think the word "nugget" is inherently funny.  And funnier if the nugget is made of chicken.

Paul and Storm knew all about him long ago.

If you want something delicious and vaguely nugget shaped that actually comes that way on a real bird, dig the "oysters" out a roasted chicken:

Ah, but Chik-Fil-A's nuggets do not come with Hot Mustard, so they are unfortunately disqualified from being considered.

True, but Chik-Fil-A's nuggets are also served with a side of anti-gay sentiment, just like Jesus wanted.

... Okay?  Why does that look worse than any other dead chicken?

What part of the chicken is the nugget?

I thought that was pink slime. Delicious pink slime.

It's right between the "tender" and the "finger"

SNOPES: (Although McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are typically offered as an example of a popular MSP-based food, since 2003 that product has been made with all white meat rather than MSP.)

I once met an sculptor artist that worked with chainsaws and logs. He said people often ask him how he makes a tree trunk into an lifelike eagle sculpture. He said that he starts cutting away the bits that don't look like an eagle. I hope this helps somehow.
