Where do chicken nuggets come from?
G’day Kuyakev, Thank you for your question. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald states that “In 2002, the Australian Consumers Association tested 14 popular nugget brands. The study found chicken filling often made up less than half of each nugget. Fat per average serve was as high as 31 grams. And none contained real chicken chunks, but “manufactured” or “formed” chicken.” Apart from the chicken, the nuggets also contained batter, water, soybean and fat. McDonalds claimed that its nuggets were 65% chicken but not how it was formed. The more expensive the nugget, the more likely it is to contain proper chicken with cheaper brands sometimes using soybeans to make up the difference. I have attached sources for your reference including a recipe to make your own. Regards References Sydney Morning Herald http://perdurabo10.tripod.com/id721.html Guardian food
