"It's hard to believe now, but there was a time when there were no chicken nuggets. I have no idea what parents fed picky children or what picky adults fed themselves before then. Maybe they all just fought over drumsticks.

Chicken nuggets are distinguished from chicken tenders in that they are made from small pieces of chicken or ground-up chicken meat that's been molded into a "nugget" shape. Chicken tenders, on the other hand, are the part of the chicken breast known as the tenderloin—or other parts of the chicken breast cut to look like the tenderloin. (It is not noticeably more tender than other parts of the chicken, in case you were wondering.) This makes chicken tenders, in theory, more nutritious than chicken nuggets, though it's really hard to defend anything that's breaded or battered and then deep-fried as "nutritious."…"

When a piece of meat with bones are put into a machine and put under 200 atmospheric pressure meat and bones flow differently. Meat and tendon, blood and all other soft things come out of the machine as a pink sludge. That is put into chicken nugget and other meat thing. I have repaired these machines and would never eat any type of processed meat that comes from this procedure. It is simply only the leftover meat that are put into to such machinery.

Someone did a comedy bit in the style of Jerry Seinfeld about chicken nuggets a while back.

Armand,
I'll do you one better. Back when they first gained popularity , I was working as a sales rep for a wholesale food service distributor. We had one seafood manufacturers sample "fish nuggets" at one of our sales meetings. I asked the broker
what part of the fish they came from. We brought some in and they actually sold fairly well. But we primarily sold to child care centers, schools, health care facilities as well as restaurants.

The kids loved them. But I never got an answer from that broker. Basically a glorified fish stick.
