Golden Nuggets of Wisdom

He published his academic work as unpatented for the world to enjoy his new invention.

This bite-sized piece of chicken, coated in batter and then deep fried was originally called the “Chicken Crispie” by Baker and his associates.

At that time, the meat industry had two problems: being able to clump ground meat without a skin and producing a batter coating that could be both deep fried and frozen without becoming detached.

Baker’s innovations solved these problems and made it possible to form chicken nuggets in any shape by first coating the meat in vinegar, salt, grains, and milk powder to make it hold together and then using an egg and grain-based batter that could be fried as well as frozen.

Today, chicken nuggets have been the subject of food challenges, social media phenomena, and many more forms of public notoriety.

The dish has inspired gourmet restaurants, exercise routines, and even feature-length productions including Cooties, a movie about a grade school child who eats a chicken nugget infected with a virus that turns prepubescent children into zombies.

Here are some more golden nuggets of wisdom:

• The current world record for most chicken nuggets eaten in 1 minute was set in September of 2020 when Todd Fernley of Washington, DC ate 315 grams (18 nuggets) of chicken nuggets in just 60 seconds. That’s a little over one nugget every 4 seconds!
• Leah Shutkever of Redditch, UK holds the record for most nuggets eaten in 3 minutes, a massive 775.1 grams (45 chicken nuggets).
• The world’s largest chicken nugget was made in 2013 by Empire Kosher Poultry, a giant of the chicken production world. They made a chicken nugget weighing over 50 pounds (that’s as much as 720 regular nuggets). The nugget had to be deep fried in a 500-gallon fryer. It measured 3.25 feet long and 2 feet wide!
