I have fond childhood memories begging my parents to take me to McDonald’s because all I wanted was a box of McNuggets and that brightly-colored toy inside a Happy Meal. I would try to convince my parents there was no food at home to not much success. The McNuggets were the only food I wanted! Even now, as a young adult, I still desire the McNuggets out of taste and nostalgia.

The History of the McNugget
Robert Baker, an agricultural scientist, created chicken nuggets in 1963 and distributed the recipe to businesses across America. It wasn’t added to the McDonald’s menu until 1983 when the fast food chain was developing an onion nugget. Luckily, McDoanld’s pivoted to take chicken nuggets and turn them into the iconic McNuggets we know and love today. So go ahead and get yourself a six-, nine-, or even a 20-piece box today.
