Are McDonald's chicken nuggets real chicken?

Answer 1

Yes, McDonald's chicken nuggets are really chicken, breaded and heavily seasoned, in approximately the same sense that hamburger patties are really beef.

An old Wendy's commercial made a joke about it. It showed a customer of an (unidentified, but pretty clearly intended to be taken as McDonald's) competitor asking what part of the chicken was the nugget. The response was "Parts is parts. You see, they take the chicken parts, and put them together into one big part. (His coworker says "Fused.") Then they take the big part, and cut it up into little pieces parts. And parts is parts!"

This is a fairly accurate, if somewhat biased, description of the basic process, though it does leave out that the original "parts" are, for the most part, unobjectionable. (They are mainly made of breast meat.)

Here's some more info:

McDonald's Chicken Nuggets were originally made from old chickens no longer able to lay eggs. These chickens are stripped down to the bone, and then 'ground up' into a chicken MASH then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to McDonald's.

Answer 3

McDonalds does not have real chicken in their nuggets. They have artificial, processed chicken in their nuggets instead.
