What's in that McNugget? Behind the Chicken at McDonald's!

 I am a brand ambassador for McDonald’s of Central Arkansas and am being compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions though are my own.

   McDonald’s serves a lot of chicken! Of course, you already knew that though, I mean, who hasn’t ever tried a McNugget? They have many different types of chicken as well. I just found out they brought back the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit and was so pumped, plus they are 2 for $3!!! I am excited to share with you today TRUTH about the chicken that McDonald’s uses and how they make their McNuggets.

The Chickens


    McDonald’s recently released its new antibiotic policy. "McDonalds is committed to using chicken that is not raised with antibiotics important to human medicine. McDonald’s has been working closely with farmers for years to reduce the use of antibiotics in our supply, and are committed to stop using antibiotics important to human medicine in chicken production for McDonald’s USA by March 2017." Statement from McDonald's Corporate office.
   They will still use antibiotics to treat sick animals as needed, if it is medicine used in treating humans then that bird will not be purchased by McDonald's.

The Meat


McNuggets are made using white-meat chicken from the breast, rib, tender, and grind it with a bit of skin. Even though the meat is formed, it is 100 percent real chicken. They are formed in four shapes and partially fried then flashed frozen.  And then fully fried before serving.

Chicken sandwiches are made using 100% real chicken. Each sandwich has its own formula for which meat is used. The grilled chicken uses a breast filet with NO preservatives that is seared in-house. Crispy sandwich uses a breast filet as well. The McChicken is a blend of dark and white meat,

Chicken Selects are made using chicken tenderloin that is then battered and fried.

  2. I love the McChicken. A lot of times I would get a side salad and a McChicken, remove the bread, and make a small chicken salad. Delicious!
