Suprisingly, most of the ingredients are corn, some chicken, and in
smaller amounts chemical preservatives. 56% corn!

From:

"... thirteen [ingredients] can be derived from corn: the corn-fed
chicken itself; modified cornstarch (to bind the pulverized chicken
meat); mono-, tri-, and diglycerides (emulsifiers, which keep the fats
and water from separating); dextrose; lecithin (another emulsifier);
chicken broth (to restore some of the flavor that processing leeches
out); yellow corn flour and more modified cornstarch (for the batter);
cornstarch (a filler); vegetable shortening; partially hydrogenated corn
oil; and citric acid as a preservative. ..."

I expected to hear all kinds of "meat-like substitutes" and "un-named
intestinal components", but, just corn, chemicals and some chicken.
Sigh. There's no mystery left in the world...

Mike, I have noticed that McDonald's McNuggets are completely different
from the chicken nuggets in frozen dinners. Maybe this is why....??

eat a dozen of them then put your wrist up to your ear, that crackling
sound you hear is your arteries hardening. Bon Apetite
