McNuggets
Fried chicken pieces
McNuggets are bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken, a trademarked McDonald's menu item that has become nearly generic for any fast-food chicken nugget.
Introduced in 1983, they're typically served with dipping sauces: I'll take a ten-piece McNuggets with barbecue sauce.
The format—boneless, uniformly shaped, kid-friendly—helped define the modern chicken nugget category.
