Why Chicken Nugget Demand Is Flat

- If you’ve lived in the United States for the last 40 years, chances are high you’ve had a chicken nugget. They’ve long been a staple for families - Americans ate 2.3 billion servings of them in restaurants last year, according to The NPD Group.
But Americans’ favorite processed meat could be losing favor with consumers - data shows that chicken nuggets are appearing on menus less often, and demand in restaurants declined from 2017 to 2018, according to NPD. Nuggets are even seen less often on the kids’ menu, where they’ve long been a mainstay for busy parents, according to Datassential.
Consumer preferences might be changing for three reasons: health concerns, media attention and new competition.
Chicken nuggets aren’t seen as the most wholesome protein option. When CNBC did an informal poll in New York’s Times Square, no one knew exactly what is in a chicken nugget. The products have also been at the center of bad press, including a debunked “pink slime” photo allegedly showing what nuggets are made of, and recent recalls.
Nuggets are also considered a classic, which means that they’re not likely to benefit from any product innovation.
Customers also may be buying more chicken strips. They’re seen as a more wholesome, grown-up version of chicken nuggets and are available more widely on menus. Restaurants have realized that customers are willing to pay a bit more for them, which means they have a higher profit margin.
“I don’t really see how they’re going to make a comeback in the future because it’s not a product that most restaurants, especially in fast food, drive their innovation around,” said Dean Small, CEO of Synergy Restaurant Consultants. “Chicken nuggets are an incremental purchase, it’s like an add-on.”
Chicken nuggets have become an American staple, especially among kids. However, due to recent controversy around the bite-sized snack, demand for nuggets in restaurants and grocery stores is flatlining.

Why Chicken Nugget Demand Is Flat
As a chicken nugget, this video concerns me.
You should be relieved, no?
he doesn't even know what he's really made of.
and he's fat
i can understand his concerns.

Hahahaha
I like how they think only Americans eat chicken nuggets
As a Canadian I can confirm I’ve had chicken nuggets
from northern ireland i too have tried a chicken nugget 🤯

Am I the only one that doesn’t like eating them in big batches? After I eat around 10, it just doesn’t taste good to me anymore

It shows the mentality of these people.
FWIW they’re not “deep fried” lmao
They're fat because they ate too much, not because of mcdonalds. Calories in, Calories out. Only fat people who blame anyone but themselves for being fat deserve to stay fat.
@@casperd2100 MCDonald's meals and other fast food meals, especially in the USA, are far more heavy in calories than other food, and that still plays a role. And I'm not sure if it's the case in the USA, since I'm French, but I know that here, MCD's sandwiches are small and don't fill you up at all. The last time i ate there, about 5 years ago now, I was hungry again after 2 hours, despite eating a reasonably sized meal.
@@casperd2100 calories in/calories out is one of the worst non-answers to obesity I've ever heard.

Why did I think that too?
I took it literally when they said why chicken nugget demand is flat.
Same...
i don't know why people are so squeamish. You can argue that it actually is more environmentally friendly to use the whole chicken, including the parts we typically just throw away, when companies make these nuggets. It allows for less waste of the chicken, leading to fewer chickens needed for consumption. And as long as there are no proven negative health effects from eating all edible parts of a chicken, then I don't see the problem...
They just said they're full of fat and clearly the smaller the size the worse it is for you. In no universe are random bits of animal and fat covered in bread crumbs and fried ever going to be good for anyone.
@@cupguin I should have been more clear on this, but when I'm referring to negative health effects, I'm not really referring to the fact that they're fatty. Many foods are fatty but don't get nearly the same scrutiny. Rather, nuggets seem to be attacked more through irrational chemophobic-like arguments, as if ground up chicken is somehow endowed with super-negative health effects, loaded with carcinogens and etc, beyond the fact that they're just fatty (which many "natural" foods are as well). Point being that there's nothing inherently immediately dangerous about nuggets beyond the standard fact that they are fatty, which no one is keeping secret. The arguments against them always just seem to boil down to "look at this slime they're made out of" for pure shock effect, rather than providing any concrete evidence on why it's actually bad.
@@robertprewitt7777 Was thinking the same thing, eating various parts of the animal vs just muscles is probably a good thing.
Unfortunately, eating this ultra processed, full of additives and deep fried junk can't be healthy.
@@amvin234 im currently developing a conspiracy on this attack to nuggets, but i dont know who's behind it just yet.

McDonalds chicken nuggets were my childhood. Mainly because my parents couldn’t afford much so that’s what I ate often. Ah good memories time really does fly.
As a kid I would only eat regular hamburgers then my parents eventually convinced me to try cheeseburgers and a few years later I tried a quarter pounder and switched to that. I’ve recently started eating the McNuggets though because I’m a teenager with no money and they’re cheap. My friends were so surprised when I was like 13 and told them I’ve never tried the McNuggets but I also had only tried like 4 things on the menu.

It’s obviously food, we can eat it and in some cultures it’s still normal to eat the bones.
The unnatural part is throwing away half the animal just because we don’t like how it looks.
I'm 60 and McNuggets are my preferred food from McD's. Easy to eat in the car and pretty yummy.

This reminds me of that "curb your nuggets" meme where the kids still raised their hand to eat the chicken nugget when they were expected to say no
I buy chicken breast or boneless chicken thighs, cut them up & make my own chicken nuggets periodically, it's pretty easy but it's just a little time consuming due to the prep time although you can buy pre cut up chicken pieces so that helps.
Chicken Nuggets taste good when those are freshly cooked. McDonald's cooked meats are place on UHCs or Ultra Heat Cabinets to keep those cooked items warm. Nuggets which have been on the cabinet for quite a while will not taste as good as freshly cooked because the heat would dry those out.
bluzshadez completely agree lol I used to work at McDonald’s and after 30 minutes they would dry out and look so ugly lol. That’s why whenever I go I always ask for fresh nuggets lol
@@kolwer123 Thank you! It gets really bad whenever I would waste trays of Nuggets.
@@bluzshadez When I worked at McDonalds there was a 30 minute timer for any of the fried chicken products (20 for beef, no idea on fish.) You were supposed to toss them after that amount of time, and honestly at any point in there they tasted fine. Most people I saw just reset the timer and sent them out to customers anyway, and you can visually see when they've dried out and will be gross, but the people who are minimum wage lifers don't care. The high school aged kids generally followed the rules alright if they weren't dropouts.
@@Meton2526 The problem is working with lazy, unmotivated and undisciplined people. I had to cook from the Egg Station, to the 2 grills to the fryers on lunch rush. Nobody would bother to take the trays of the expired food out. On Fridays, it was non-stop cooking. I just can;t check the levels of cooked food even if I wanted to. When timers go off, I would "waste" whatever is on the trays. I have never been in a workplace where friendship is more valued than getting the job done. So much time is wasted just by gossiping. I only saw a handful of hard workers, everybody and even some of the Managers just didn't care anymore.
Now I can't recall my experience with them before 20 years ago, but I will say that the McDonald's variety of nugget has a unique taste and texture profile, in fact it has the best tasting breading out of all fast food varieties when compared to Burger King Wendy's Sonic and even Chick-fil-A which will I will explain later.
Currently Wendy's has a grainy muhly breading with an uninspired meat filling, but their variety of sauces more than makes up for it post 2004.
Burger King had Supreme chicken tenders but have since discontinued them for the 10 for a dollar variety of nugget they have now which is less desirable than even current McDonald's nuggets especially since McDonald's variety nuggets come across as extremely dry and anemic.
Chick-fil-A has never been the same since they shifted from moist peanut oil to a vegetable oil frying method that loses moisture much quicker especially since they use real cuts of whole chicken with minimal breading and no moisture absorbing fillers.
I haven't had any of them in a while so I can't think of anything else

I definitely like to see the shape of animal or plant in the food I eat, especially in the cases of fish and poultry. That's how I know I'm actually eating what I'm seeing.
Underrated comment lmao
For the record bones, blood vessels, cartilage and skin are yummy when cooked right. Our ancestor's trust me would not have wasted it.
but if there is aprox. 2 nuggets to a strip would that be about the same?
Chicken nuggets were so fun to eat
But nobody eats them anymore
Same
I still do...just the vegan ones
@@latinsho11 hell yeah my dude
Fun? Wtf
@Jonathan Lumbreras Nah, they taste just the same. (especially with barbecue sauce)
One time I accidentally bought rib-meat "chicken" nuggets and didnt realize it until i bit into it. The taste and sponge-like texture still haunts me to this day
This is the best journalism you're gonna get from CNBC.
Raising Cane's is amazing. It's just crazy how good they are when they are made fresh from scratch.
I have exams that will effect my future and here i am watching a video about chicken nuggets
Hope those aren't English exams...it's affect.
Chicken strips were removed from the McDonald’s Canada menu today. I work there, we now only sell nuggets, crispy chicken, junior chicken, and McChicken.
