Chicken Nuggets

What is it?

Bite-sized pieces of all-white-meat chicken, these nuggets are coated in KFC’s herb-and-spice breading and fried until the exterior sets into a craggy shell. Inside, the chicken stays visible and relatively lean, with a texture that’s closer to chopped breast meat than a processed paste. They’re sold in several count sizes, from snack portions to larger boxes, and usually come with dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or KFC sauce, depending on location. Compared with the chain’s bone-in chicken, the seasoning is familiar but scaled down into a dippable format.
