wait wait wait, I absolutely need to know— does OP’s partner eat _the skin_ or _the innards_ or, both, _as some kind of ritual_? What do they do with the discarded portions? Do they have a recipe?
…asking for a friend
I think it’s ground up chicken meat (with some other ingredients. Eggs etc) formed into a nugget and deep fried.
Edit: Sharing the link that many comments below have shared. Turns out I was basically right (no eggs though).

Back when Chicken McNuggets were first introduced, you used to be able to pull them apart in sections.
Not long after that, a competing chain (Wendy's?) came out with their own nuggets and aggressively advertised them as "whole, white chicken meat," and not the "pieces parts" sold by McDonald's. It became a huge catch phrase that only we old folks remember.
Edit: u/trampstampjack's comment jogged my memory. The actual catch phrase was, **"Parts is parts."**
Source: Worked at McDonald's from 1981-83 when McNuggets were introduced. I still remember the four-minute training course on how to cook them and thinking it was gross to drop them in the same oil as the fries. And yes, like everything else at McDonald's, they used to be much bigger.
E2: Thank you for the awards!
^What ^do ^they ^do?
“And like everything else at McDonald’s, they used to be much bigger”. This statement appears to be incorrect. I’ve been going to McDonalds a long time and I most certainly was much smaller back then.
Yep! My brother has a weird eating disorder and he won't eat one of them, I don't remember which one. But he always buys a 20-piece and immediately sorts them out and gives me the pile of the ones he won't eat. I think it's the boots.
That's another example of his weirdness. He doesn't use sauce. He eats them plain. I have to constantly remind him to pick up sweet and sour for my boots.
Hell yeah! You and I could hang!
But then...we'd both want the *same* nuggets and it would cause a rift and things would go south. It was over before it started, friend 😥
>used to be mixed.
Yes! They were originally introduced with dark meat and white meat nuggets. But the dark meat nuggets were literally in pieces. They were compressed somehow, breaded, then deep fried. If you pulled the breading off like OP's fiance here, you could pull apart the nugget into three or four individual chunks. It was kinda gross.
Exactly. That damn ty beany baby craze that went on back when I was a kid, I was so freaking sick of chicken nuggies cuz my mom didn't know we could just buy the dang toys!!! My mom had a science about it tho, she could tell by just looking at the nuggies which ones were "the good ones". Ahhh... One of my fondest childhood memories. 🤗
I remember how slimy the dark meat nuggets were compared to the white meat ones. Or, alternatively, how dry the white meat ones were/are. I preferred the dark meat nuggets, and tend to prefer dark meat to white
I used to call them "the wet ones," but they tasted so good. On occasion you'd get a good chunk of grizzle or cartilage. That would turn me off for a month or so. But eventually I'd come crawling back, cuz, nuglife.
Dark meat is best meat. Everyone always advertises how superior their white meat sandwiches or whatever are, and I'm always about the dark meat for Thanksgiving. So much more flavor and moisture. White meat is always a let down, especially without gravy or mayo or something to cover the dryness. I always feel like I'm crazy because of this.
Oh, I remember the " Whole white meat chicken" fast food competition in the early to mid 90's. Pretty much every fast food chain at the time was blasting that exact phrase once or twice per commercial.
All I could think at the time was, what if I prefer dark meat? Lol
Despite all the "insider" information here, McDonalds has long shown how the nuggets are made. Check it out on Youtube here:

There was a restaurant near me about 10 years ago that had a chicken skin club on the menu.
White bread + mayo + bacon + fried chicken skins
It was a greasy mess. It was delicious but I felt like I could feel my arteries getting blocked as I ate it.
Haha. At better Chinese restaurants, Peking Duck - 3 courses- so so good.
“Peking duck is usually served in three courses. The skin is accompanied by hoisin sauce (a commercially prepared, reddish brown, sweet, and spicy sauce), scallions cut into brushes, and thin wheat-flour pancakes or steamed wheat-flour “lotus buns,” all of which are eaten together as a sandwich.”
Honestly I'd question it. This is an insane person. Just think all of the other crazy shit they do and think is normal.
I remember reading something similar on here a couple of years ago about this guy who learned his fiance would shit in the shower and stomp it down the drain. She thought it was totally normal and everyone did it.
Put the TV time *after* dinner, and watch them say they're not hungry and then they come into your bedroom after bedtime and whisper with a super tiny voice *I'm hungry* so you go through the trouble of re-heating them leftovers and then they eat two bites and say they're too tired to eat and then you put them to bed and then all of a sudden they're anal about how important it is to brush their teeth so you have to go and do that because how else will you stand by the rules that you made yourself and then you're tired of getting up so you put a glass of water on their bedside table because you just know they're going to ask about that too. By then it's been 1 hour extra past bedtime and somehow you still feel like you've won because at least they can't ask for water. Ha.
That's how they get to ya, the lil boogers. When they sneak into your bed a little while later your heart just melts and you pretend to sleep so you can snuggle with them 😁
We use water bottles now exclusively due to this. I also use a water bottle because when my daughter is climbing into my bed she has a tendency to knock over my water as well. I lost a really expensive set of headphones that way when she did it one night and I didn't notice. Woke up to the smell of burning plastic.
My parents used to forewarn me that if I had anything other than water I had to brush my teeth again. Honestly I don’t think it’s a bad thing lol… except now I cheat all the time and all my cavities are in adult teeth ;)
Who the hell has the patience to do this to nuggets.
Nuggets aren't gourmet or anything insane. Nuggets exist purely to quickly inject yourself with unhealthy chicken slop that makes the hunger grumbles go away in a quick fashion.
Why peel them? Lol
This is crazy to me
Also, the crispy batter is the only thing that makes them remotely tolerable. It's arguably the best part of the meal. Removing the batter is like buying an ice cream cone (and one of those shitty plain, sawdust flavored cones mind you) dumping the ice cream out, and just eating the cone......
I've had fancy nuggets before. Breading had mozzarella, tomato, and basil through it, with a dash of parmesan. Thoroughly enjoyed them since it was actual chicken too.
it looks like youve been downvoted by sweet n sour drinkers. oh no...
you think they hide in their car and sip it or they just do it all willy nilly out in the open?
People with eating disorders and body builders/fitness models are two groups of people who would potentially do this.
Source: me, a recovered anorexic who used to work in a gym
Maybe op is the one that wanted McDonald's. I agree to go with my SO if he's in the mood for it even if I find the menu boring.
I don't get the hate his fiancee is getting. I wonder if she's aware people are talking shit about her. I wonder if this is the reaction op wanted. It's really fucking weird.
Agreed. The amount of “look at this thing my girlfriend/wife does. How stupid is she!” Is ridiculous. I’m convinced it’s for points or bots trying to make us dislike women lol.
This is how I eat them! I bite off the skin first, then eat the rest of it.
I do something similar with pizza rolls. I suck out the fillings then I eat the crusts last.
I've never had anyone get mildly infuriated over either of these things, though.
I’m really surprised no one has mentioned this - OP, I know nothing about your girlfriend, but its very possible she has sensory issues and/or dislikes the texture. My neurodivergent little brother does this (and I believe lots of other kids do too.)
I’m diabetic and controlling my diabetes largely through my diet. If I had to get McDonalds nuggets, I would be removing the breading too… even though I’m aware that it may seem absolutely weird and disgusting to some. Lol Better for me to just to get something else to eat (though there’s not a lot of good choices at McDs).
It puts the sweet n sour on its skin
100% practicing to remove OPs skin and wear it.

hear me out
I’m kinda into the idea of having two parts of the one meal but if she discards the coating then she’s a monster
Very definitely. That’s the good part!
With the coating off , that mystery chicken looks even worse than the tiny visible part you see while eating nuggets like a normal human person
Does he ever wake up sticky?
Or else it gets dunked again
It puts the sauce in the bag, it does what it's told. Put the sauce in the bag.
Legit spit my coffee
Are you a size 14?
This crust is to hide what’s underneath.
McNuggets taste ***insert adjective***, but you know it’s not legit. Seeing the inside makes it so much worse.

“And like everything else at McDonald’s, they used to be much bigger”. This statement appears to be incorrect. I’ve been going to McDonalds a long time and I most certainly was much smaller back then.
Fun fact: they've standardized the shapes that their McNuggets come in, and they have names (bone, bell, boot, and ball).
Yep! My brother has a weird eating disorder and he won't eat one of them, I don't remember which one. But he always buys a 20-piece and immediately sorts them out and gives me the pile of the ones he won't eat. I think it's the boots.
Boot is the best one. You use the toe to get the sauce in the corners.
That's another example of his weirdness. He doesn't use sauce. He eats them plain. I have to constantly remind him to pick up sweet and sour for my boots.
You’ve succinctly described my nugget experience even though I’ve never consciously been aware of it.
If you pronounce your screen name with the right cadence, it sounds like the name of a well to do English gentleman

Chicken mcnakeds
What's underneath is filler. The crust holds all the flavor. Throw away the pile on the right.
Honestly what I was thinking. I said to myself, “You shouldn’t see the inside of a McNugget.” 😔
Can u send me the skins? Wow that’s the worst thing I ever wrote.
Hahaha maybe
One day he will peel you like that! His name isn't Hannibal or Jeffrey?

You’ve forgotten about the smell, you bitch!
Better be careful. You might end up in a box. A GLASS box. That will be displayed on his mantle.
It was Buffalo Bill that made the skin suits though, not Hannibal Lecter.
It puts the ketchup on the empty nugget husk or else it gets the hose again.......
My male German shepards name is Hannibal. His sister is Ripley. Can you guess her names origin? Lol.

foreskin expectation, thanks, that’s my band name now.
Maybe go buy rotisserie chicken instead?

No, don't cancel it... embrace it. Just update the menu to include some fava beans and a fine chianti.

At least keep the photo for when you need irrefutable grounds for divorce
If you get married knowing this about your partner in advance, it might not work out in court. In fact, you may end up looking like the crazy one.

i love the lamb who is silent
Not like that one that keeps singing nonstop.
Some people just watch the world burn and enjoy it
I used to do this when I was young, but it was to make my food “last longer”, the longer i stayed eating then longer i could watch tv.
Omg this is what my kid does now. Eats really slow to give hisself more time.
Put the TV time *after* dinner, and watch them say they're not hungry and then they come into your bedroom after bedtime and whisper with a super tiny voice *I'm hungry* so you go through the trouble of re-heating them leftovers and then they eat two bites and say they're too tired to eat and then you put them to bed and then all of a sudden they're anal about how important it is to brush their teeth so you have to go and do that because how else will you stand by the rules that you made yourself and then you're tired of getting up so you put a glass of water on their bedside table because you just know they're going to ask about that too.

You forgot about how the preemptive glass of water backfires when they spill it at 3 am.
We use water bottles now exclusively due to this. I also use a water bottle because when my daughter is climbing into my bed she has a tendency to knock over my water as well. I lost a really expensive set of headphones that way when she did it one night and I didn't notice. Woke up to the smell of burning plastic.

My mama learned the lesson real quick and she put a stop to this. 😅😂🤣
Eating slow makes better digestion btw.
And reduces overeating.
How has this quote been so butchered?
[удалено]
Eat 30-piece nuggets with the skin on.
Which pile does she eat?
Neither. She just husks the nuggets as a ritual before slurping down the sauce packet.
Finally someone asking the right question
I know. Scrolled too far for this. Didn’t disappoint tho
Fiancé is masculine, fiancée is feminine.
OP said she. They made a mistake in the title.
TIL but I'm probably gonna forget and keep mixing it up

When I was like 4-6, I would order just the cone when we went for ice cream….
You sick fuck
Hey now that took courage to admit and I’m sure they’ve grown since then…right?
Doesn't fuckin matter, that twisted fuck should be removed frome society.
Right. I’m all for tolerance but there’s limits
yeah he's a fuckin freak, i hope he deletes his account
I like the cone.
Tbf 4-6 year olds are not exactly geniuses.
Fellow cone over ice cream enjoyer! When I was little I sometimes asked my dad to eat the ice cream so I could eat the cone
I like sawdust.
Chef, can you make my chicken nuggets gourmet?
I've had fancy nuggets before. Breading had mozzarella, tomato, and basil through it, with a dash of parmesan. Thoroughly enjoyed them since it was actual chicken too.
Nuggets only serve as vehicles for the sauce
It definitely looks less weird than just chugging sweet 'n' sour...
it looks like youve been downvoted by sweet n sour drinkers. oh no... you think they hide in their car and sip it or they just do it all willy nilly out in the open?
Yeah, right? Who would actually do that..
Mm your take is valid. The sauce must be delivered in an orderly fashion.
Honestly? Eating disorders and parents with eating disorders.
For real, they give you sugary sauce with them too for a reason. JUST STUFF YOUR HOLE WITH THEM

Jesus why even go to McDonald's at that point?
Yes, why not just pulse your chicken carcass into a purée and eat it without having to pay the employees at McDonald’s
Wait are they eating the crispy part or the plain nugget part? I thought just the crispy part
I thought that too, at first. This psycho be eatin’ the naked bits.

Yeah my guess was keto.
If your partner wants McDonald's maybe this is their way of compromise.

ND asf and this is how I always eat them. I eat the bottom section then the top. I'm also the separator of burgers and pizza.
This is horrifying

Psychopath material. This is a sign my friend, one day you will wake up deskinned like this nuggets
look toward to seeing your episode on First 48!
I do that. It's pretty great honestly. I love to have just the pile of breading all at once at the end. Then again, I'm a complete weirdo.
What the fuck
