The Story Behind the Dish
The chicken nugget was invented in the 1950s by Robert C. Baker, a food scientist at Cornell University. He found a way to make breaded pieces of chicken that held together when frozen and fried, and published the method for free instead of patenting it.
Fast-food chains made nuggets famous in the 1980s. Making them at home, baked, with whole pieces of chicken breast, gives the same crunch with far less fat.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Nuggets are one of the most requested foods by children around the world.
💡 Fun Fact
Robert Baker never patented the chicken nugget, so anyone could make and sell it.
