Sorry, what? Err, yes, of course it is... i mean, its not quite chicken nuggets in the fast food sense, its cut pieces of chicken breast fried in batter and tossed in sauce as opposed to mashed up and reformed chicken anythings battered and tossed in sauce so its a little higer quality.
Forgive me, but it's like saying a snickers is just a mars bar but with nuts in.
Or fries are just potato strips cooked in oil.
But yeah.
Most things are things
Do you realise you can make chicken nuggets out of actual chicken?
Think of them as mini schnitzel chunks, they are amazing.
They were a staple of our household growing up, and it’s what I think of when someone says “chicken nuggets”
100%, but the context was around overly processed chicken made of "beaks and arseholes" as my mum used to say.
Also, generally speaking, chicken nuggets are low quality reformed chicken. I appreciate that anecdotally your experience is different. I wish i had grown up eating those nuggets as they sound excellent. However, for the majority, I'm certain that it's the shit nuggets most people were brought up on.
