Think about it ...chickens don't HAVE nuggets.
It's basically all the extra meat, compounded together and deep-fried.
Here is how nuggets are made:
1) Mix all your meats together
2)Add chicken skin and mix together well
3)Add sodium phosphate to make it stick together and keep it juicy
4)Mold into a nugget shape
5)Battter and bread it with flour, spices, and plant proteins
6)Add chemicals such as sodium acid pyrophosphate .
7)Add trans fats such as partially hydrogenated veggie oil and soybean oils
8)Fry in veggie oil or soybean oil (all hydrogentated, by the way)

chicken nuggets are made up of all the little bits left on the bones which are blasted off with water jets then mixed together with fats and additives

Some places use all breast meat in the nuggets. Otherwise, "parts is parts."

This probably started as a joke, but as we all know, its all the bits you never thought you could eat, blasted off the bones with high pressure water jets. Mulched to a paste seasoned, binder is added to stick the pulped flesh and fat together, then water is pumped in to add bulk and weight. Finally the whole ****** is covered in coloured crumb and transfats.

It's usually processed chicken meat all smashed together, breaded and fried. McD claims their's are all white meat. Pretty good
