McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets are made of 45% chicken, with the rest being a combination of batter, seasoning, and oil.
McDonald's chicken nuggets aren’t actually made from 100 percent chicken breast meat, as the fast-food giants claim. The chicken portion of a McNugget only adds up to 45 percent of the total recipe. The rest of the ingredients are seasoning, batter, and oil.
They are first coated in a thinner batter, which is then covered in a second, thicker layer of batter to give them the crisp they’ve been known for.
They are partly cooked in a frier, chill, frozen, and cased to be dispatched to McDonald's restaurants, where they are then cooked in full.
