How Are McDonald's Chicken Nuggets Made?<\/h2>\r\nOne of the world's greatest mysteries: just what exactly is in <\/em>a Chicken McNugget? Despite what you may have heard, they are not made with pink goo or slime\u2014and that's just one of the McNugget facts<\/a> you might not have known. According to McDonald's, their chicken nuggets<\/a> are made with \"all white meat chicken and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.\"\r\n\r\nIn their production facilities, the chicken is finely ground and blended with spices and a proportional amount of chicken skin\u2014 which adds flavor and moisture, and helps bind the nuggets together. From there, the meat is molded into the four McNugget shapes<\/a>: the ball, the bone, the boot and the bell.\r\n\r\nAfter the nuggets are shaped, they're coated in two different batters before being partially fried to set the batter. Next, they're flash frozen, packaged and shipped worldwide. The cooking process is completed in-house at your local McDonald's.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for something new to go with your McNuggets, check out these McDonald's secret menu faves<\/a>.\r\n
