Chicken nuggets were invented by a food science professor in the 1950s, who was trying to find a way to freeze chicken without it falling apart or drying out.
Before frozen chicken products existed, many families only ate chicken on special occasions because preparing and portioning it took hours.
Popcorn style chicken gets its name because the bite sized pieces were designed to be eaten by the handful — just like popcorn — not because it contains any corn.
Chicken patties were originally developed to fit standard sandwich buns, making them one of the earliest “assembled” frozen meals.
The shape of many chicken nuggets was intentionally designed to make them easier for machines to bread evenly — which is why some nugget shapes have become instantly recognizable.
Bite size chicken pieces rose in popularity alongside movie theaters and sporting events, where handheld foods became part of the experience.
