Their history began in America, where in the mid-20th century chicken nuggets became popular due to their convenience and accessibility.

After that, the pieces are dipped in egg and coated with a crispy cornflake breading, creating an appetizing golden crust. Fried to perfect crispiness, they are served with a refreshing white sauce based on yogurt and herbs. Nuggets are an ideal snack or main dish loved by both adults and children.
