November

National Chicken Nugget Day, celebrated on November 22, is a day dedicated to honouring and indulging in the beloved crispy, bite-sized pieces of chicken. This day pays homage to the history of chicken nuggets, tracing back to their invention in the 1950s by food science professor Robert C. Baker at Cornell University. Fast forward to 1979, the iconic Chicken McNugget was introduced by McDonald’s, propelling chicken nuggets into mainstream popularity. Today, these golden nuggets continue to be a favourite among people of all ages, with various flavours and innovations emerging to cater to evolving consumer tastes. It’s a day to appreciate the simple joy and widespread appeal of this quintessential fast-food item, bringing people together to savour the crispy, flavourful goodness of chicken nuggets. So, whether you enjoy them plain or dipped in sauce, National Chicken Nugget Day is a delightful occasion to relish these timeless treats!
