A chicken nugget, as compared to a deep-fried piece of batter-coated chicken, is composed from a paste of finely minced chicken and sometimes purposefully added chicken skin, which is then coated in batter before being cooked. The chicken nugget is a development of the traditional croquette. Fast food restaurants typically deep-fry their nuggets in oil. Oven baking is the usual[citation needed] and more healthy method of preparation at home.
The chicken nugget was invented in the 1950s by Robert C. Baker, a food science professor at Cornell University, and published as unpatented academic work.[1] Dr. Baker's innovations made it possible to form chicken nuggets in any shape. McDonald's recipe for Chicken McNuggets was created on commission from McDonald's by Tyson Foods in 1979 and the product was sold beginning in 1983. A ruling in 2003 in a lawsuit brought against McDonald's on behalf of a group of obese teenagers catalogued the 38 ingredients in a Chicken McNugget.[2]
