Chicken nuggets were first introduced in the 1950s by Robert C. Baker, a food science professor at Cornell University. These bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken quickly gained popularity in the United States and became a staple in fast-food restaurants and households. Today, they are enjoyed by people of all ages and are often served with a variety of dipping sauces. Chefs and restaurants around the world have put their own spin on this classic dish, with some adding unique seasonings or using different breading techniques. The best chicken nuggets can be found in local diners and eateries that prioritize using high-quality, fresh chicken and a perfectly seasoned coating. For a homemade version, it's crucial to get the breading just right to achieve that crispy, golden exterior. Some alternative methods for making chicken nuggets include baking or air frying for a healthier twist.
