mom can we have some chicken luggage who
on earth could love McDonald's without
having a soft spot for those savoury
McNuggets those handheld chicken the
lights those dunkeld chicken ugh well
there are certain facts you may or may
not know about these little handheld
Uncle goodies some you may want to know
and others you may not so let's look at
10 Chicken McNugget secrets McDonald's
is hiding from you what's in the Chicken
McNugget chicken McNuggets have for
standardized shapes this is probably the
case when it comes to most nugget
companies as we are all reminiscing on
Burger Kings og crown shaped nugs they
literally take the crown for best shaped
but nothing tastes quite as good as
those boot-shaped Chicken McNuggets with
a side of sweet and sour sauce
apparently there are four different
shapes Boot Bell bone and ball who
woulda thunk it their standardized to
make sure they cook properly every
single time these curated shapes were
also made intentionally for the perfect
dunking of sauces every time the boot is
the best for dunking and no questions
asked none seriously I know you've got a
lot of questions next time you get a box
of McNuggets see if they give you at
least one of each shape and see what
your favorite one is for dipping it will
be the boot really it will be pinkie
swear pinkie flew was pink slime
once in the McNugget this is pink slide
according to McDonald's they stopped
using pink slime in their Nuggets the
pink slime was simply finely textured
beef derived through a process which is
used quite often in the fast food
industry and it was rumored to be in
there Chicken McNuggets at one time that
being said a supply chain manager
debunked this rumor by sharing a video
of a chicken carcass removing the parts
grinding up all the meat and skin to
turn into a putty texture before getting
a chemical treatment and being shaped
into your favorite nuggets
does that sound more appetizing to you
maybe not
at least it's not made of beef if you
really wanted beef I'm sure you'd order
a Big Mac since sharing the video Mickey
D's is not actively trying to hide the
way they make their food but it doesn't
make it any less gross
either way thank goodness they don't
sneak pink slime into your precious
white meat nuggets anymore that still
looks like me
absolutely the McNugget was grown from
fear of red meat did me on the topic of
beef being not so secretly hidden in the
precious McNuggets McDonald's invented
them in the late 1970s during a rise of
poor heart health which a lot of the
time led to death lots of nutritionists
believe the rise in heart condition
cases were due to the over consumption
of red meat this news resulted in a huge
loss of business for much of the
American fast-food industry scientists
from all over the country pinpointed the
culprits and they were cholesterol and
saturated fat and what caused them beef
what's the beef here exactly trying to
come up with ways to keep their
customers McDonald's eventually created
the Chicken McNugget to give customers
an alternative to red meat and add more
poultry in people's diets does that mean
that McNuggets are healthy well let's
just say healthier if that's your point
of comparison anyways that would
probably explain why there are so many
versions of chicken on their menu
including grilled chicken wraps what
could possibly be healthier than a
grilled chicken wrap so we're glad that
there's some chicken for those not in
the mood for Big Macs
just remember moderation is key I'm not
gonna remember any of this the Chicken
McNugget wasn't their first McNugget
I've seen how they make the chicken
McNuggets and imagine your favorite
McNugget but replace the chicken with
onion yes onion nuggets were introduced
in the 70s before Chicken McNuggets and
were literally pieces of diced onion
that were breaded and fried like your
favorite McNuggets they were kinda like
onion rings but Nuggets onion ring
nuggets that has a bit of a ring to it
don't you think it was McDonald's first
attempt at combating the red meat fear
that was starting to make rumblings and
let's just say it
wasn't a hit they sound pretty delicious
though unfortunately the only way to get
onions at McDonald's today is in some of
their sandwiches and maybe some of their
salads but who goes to McDonald's to eat
onions anyways not judging but a little
curious if they'll ever bring back the
nostalgic onion nuggets and if there is
even a following of people clamoring for
their return the inventor of the Chicken
McNugget cooked for the Queen pampered
like the Queen of England
Rene our end was a Luxembourg raised
chef who created the Chicken McNugget
when Americans were avoiding McDonald's
during the cholesterol red meat scare
the fast food chain wanted to hire the
very best and who better than a royal
chef he had a history of cooking for
queen elizabeth ii and the king of
belgium
he was also the one who thought of the
failed chicken potpie as well as wanting
to add Fried Chicken to an already
flooded fast food market Iran then
created the Chicken McNugget that we
know and love today
after the failed onion nugget that
didn't get as much love from McDonald's
loyalists mr. Arendt definitely deserves
some sort of award for blessing the
world with McNuggets let's call it the
chicken cup maybe something with dignity
and chickens a chicken strip party pack
for all your friends a single McNugget
is made with over 40 ingredients almost
ready to be entrusted with a secret
ingredient now before you freak out by
that number keep in mind a lot of these
ingredients are living in your pantry
too this includes spices and flour were
you expecting a list of all of them who
knows what's included in those chicken
flavored delights but here's a few for
starters to give you somewhat of an
answer MSG is used in the McNuggets to
make you believe there's more protein in
the nuggets than there really is what do
they mean when they say all white
chicken meat this is a hundred percent
white meat chicken they mean all white
chicken meat plus all that other stuff
that doesn't sound good in commercials
so even though there's no telling what
thirty other ingredients are included we
know that there are spices flour chicken
MSG and dimethyl paulo silas ain't
oh and tertiary butyl hydroquinone which
is a really long word for a
petroleum-based additive McDonald's uses
this one to make sure that the chicken
nuggets stay in those gorgeous shapes
mentioned before and don't fall apart
before being served although McDonald's
stated in 2016 that they stopped using
preservatives in their chicken who goes
to McDonald's to be healthy anyways cuz
here's the McDonald's denial the
McNugget ingredients vary from country
to country
going back to one of the last points the
United Kingdom refuses to use the
silicon-based dimethyl poly psilocin in
their McNuggets on top of putty this
ingredient is found in contact lenses
breast implants shampoo and
heat-resistant tiles that would explain
why they don't serve it but how it's
still allowed to be used in the United
States of America is one big question
mark what's your question at the same
time wouldn't the McNuggets really be
just as delicious without it who knows
we're not sure what ingredients are in
every McNugget in every country but next
time you travel see if the McNuggets
taste any different that reminds me of
my childhood it was not McDonald's first
chicken dish it wasn't like the first
time you sent although the vast majority
of McDonald's loyalists may think of the
McNugget as the king of McDonald's
chicken dishes the golden arches had
tried other chicken dishes including
chicken potpie and fried chicken both
recipes were invented by Rene Arendt the
former royal chef mentioned earlier
oh I'm craving McDonald's fried chicken
said no one ever
is is this chicken needless to say they
were unsuccessful with their first
Chicken contenders after being blown out
of the water by KFC and Popeyes even
though it didn't work back then
McDonald's is still trying to be more of
a winner winner when it comes to their
chicken dinner with chick-fil-a being a
popular favorite McDonald's wants to
grab some of those poultry customers by
improving the quality of their chicken
to become a better quality chicken
contender McDonald's is trying to shift
antibiotic free chicken and almost
replicate chick-fil-a's crispy chicken
tenders that
have been a big hit in the American
market if McDonald's does try to compete
directly with chick-fil-a and offers
lower prices for the same quality
chicken it might win over chicken lovers
all over the USA they love chicken the
McRib was used as a distraction think
I'll do five mcribs please
after our Wren invented the McNugget
back in 1979 the demand kept getting
bigger and the franchises couldn't keep
up they were literally running out of
chicken McNuggets they decided that
instead of admitting that they ran out
or were running low they chose to create
a completely new dish to distract
customers from the lack of McNuggets it
was a little ironic because they used a
pork dish the McRib to distract
customers from chicken this was again
created as an alternative for customers
wanting to avoid eating red meat but
isn't pork just another red meat who
else is confused anyways it worked for a
little while the McRib was a barbecue
flavored pork sandwich that was inspired
by the pulled pork that French chef Rene
RN tried during a trip to South Carolina
it was invented in 1981 and
unfortunately was discontinued due to
its lack of popularity by 1985 maybe
because customers were afraid pork was
also a contributor to high cholesterol
and they too would be a victim of heart
disease maybe just a thought that being
said this McRib was also made with
roughly 70 ingredients so it's no wonder
that they stopped making it don't ask
about what they are just don't that's
obviously not the reason it just didn't
have the same popularity as the McNugget
despite losing its popularity by 1994
the McRib had somehow developed a bit of
a cult following which would explain why
mcdonald's occasionally decides to
relaunch the sandwich
it may not be chicken nuggets but
customers still remember it lovingly if
your local mcdonald's brings the McRib
out for another limited run try it out
and see if you love it as much as the
McNuggets
chicken nuggets McDonald's sells more
chicken products than beef out of
everything you could have cooked to that
you decided to fry chicken isn't the Big
Mac the first thing that comes to mind
when someone mentions McDonald's well
surprisingly enough McDonald's sells
more chicken McNuggets wraps and
McChicken sandwiches than they do beef
products considering that chicken is
also in a number of its salads and the
majority of the beef is in their
sandwiches it would make sense if you
really thought of all the different ways
you can eat chicken at Mickey D's on top
of that with McNuggets being served in
packs of up to 20 there's no question as
to how they're able to sell so much
chicken there's just something about the
flavor of the McNugget and other fried
chicken at McDonald's that just draws
you in and there's nothing that tastes
quite like that iconic flaky breading
it's so light and airy you almost forget
how much fat and salt is in every bite
it definitely takes us back to the
nostalgic days of our youth there it is
boys the Fountain of Youth the delicious
dunka Bowl chicken nuggets are the
perfect snack after class after work or
after a late night out on the town
there's zero bias here promise okay
maybe a little but one thing never
changes and that is the fact that the
late-night crowd will continue to visit
their local mick Dee's in the early
hours of the morning and you can bet at
least one person will be ordering up
some chicken McNuggets but really the
golden arches are mostly known as the
ultimate American fast-food burger joint
yet the majority of its profits come
from chicken that's like finding out
that bath and Bodyworks a place known
for skin care products actually make all
their money selling candles we all know
those three wick candles are to die for
at the end of the day people are still
going back to McDonald's for the chicken
McNuggets no matter what chemicals or
other questionable ingredients may be
inside there's no doubt they still
manage to taste pretty darn good every
time they're ordered so the real
question then becomes what's your
favorite dipping sauce of choice I'm a
barbecue man myself what about you sweet
and sour
