chicken nuggets

Fried poultry pieces

Chicken nuggets are small pieces of chicken meat, breaded or battered and deep-fried.

A staple of fast food restaurants and frozen food aisles, they're especially associated with children's meals: The kids want chicken nuggets and fries.

The chicken is typically ground and reformed rather than cut from whole pieces, though premium versions use breast meat.
