This is mechanically separated chicken. Chickens are turned into this goop so we can create delicious chicken nuggets and juicy chicken patties. It's obscenely gross and borderline alien but it's not going to stop me from eating nuggets. They're too good.

The process works a little something like this:

"There's more: because it's crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be refalvored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color."

*barf* There's a reason I have not eaten at McDonalds in 20 years.

So? Have you ever seen hotdogs and sausages being made? Doesn't mean they aren't delicious.

Who cares? You really thought there were crown, rod, circular, and boot shaped pieces of meat on chickens? It's just all yanked off the bone by machines and mashed together into nugget shapes.

pardon the obvious, any proof to this claim?

$0.99 per 6 on Mondays (limited time). Normally they are $3.99 They are "all white meat" which is what - pink bleached goo?

The process is nasty, but I love McNuggets. I like them better than most "real" chicken nuggets.

Edit:
They're best with the hot picante sauce they have for the breakfast burritos. That works well on McChicken too. I get my McChicken without mayo, and use hot picante instead.

Wouldn't 10 minutes in a deep fryer take care of this issue?

I'm going out on a limb and calling bullshit on the pic. Processed chicken goo in a cardboard box? I don't see that happening.

Why is this surprising? They're completely uniform products in terms of texture, visual aesthetics, size, etc. It would have to be made out of some kind of extruded meat paste.

How about bologna?

I just looked at a package of bologna, and I saw it:
they take that straight soft-serve product, cook it like that, and then slice it.

Barf. D:

What's more is since the patties are just oversized nuggets, we can only assume they're produced in the same manner.
