Nuggets
Also known as: Chicken Nuggets
Nuggets, commonly referred to as chicken nuggets, are a popular breaded or battered poultry product consisting of small, bite-sized pieces of meat. While their exact culinary origin is often debated, they became a global staple through the rise of fast-food culture in the United States. The key ingredients typically include minced or whole chicken breast, seasoned with salt and various spices, then coated in a flour-based batter or breadcrumbs before being deep-fried. A great version is distinguished by a crispy, golden exterior and a juicy, tender interior. Quality can vary significantly between venues; for instance, in Milan, creator Secondo Luca praised Popeyes but expressed dissatisfaction with Jollibee. In Rome, venues like Ayo Tacos and Ciccio Burger Place received high marks from creators Franchino Er Criminale and Bertra, respectively. Regional variations are widespread. In Italy, enthusiasts frequent specialized spots such as Rock and Food Barbecue Smoker in Frattocchie, recommended by Franchino Er Criminale, and Sweet Burger in Torino, also praised by him. In the United States, the dish is a cornerstone of major chains, with Chipotle in Miami being a notable mention by creator sandrino. Other international mentions include Fully Burgers and Fries in Lugano, Switzerland, cited by Bruce Pappalardo and Riccardo Dose, and Cisbù in Naples, endorsed by Riccardo Dose, underscoring the dish’s universal appeal across diverse culinary landscapes.

What Secondo Luca says
7 on-camera moments, most recent first.
“Salaam Mellat is a street-food spot in Milan run by guys with 40 years of experience cooking pork at stadiums — the food is high-quality, well-crafted, and generous, though a bit pricey and the house sauce is too spicy for my taste.”

Popeyes· MilanoLoved“Popeyes in Milan serves excellent fried chicken, especially the nuggets and tenders, but the cleanliness and high prices are disappointing.”
Popeyes a Milano è davvero così buono? Sì. Ma il problema è un altro…
Jollibee· MilanoSkipped“This is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to on the channel — dirty, broken glass, burnt oil, and dishes that are dry, overly spicy, and poorly made. The only thing that almost works is the burger; everything else is deplorable.”

Space Patty Burger· MilanoSkipped“Space Patty is a visually stunning futuristic burger joint in Milan, but the food is mediocre, overpriced, and the portions are tiny — I wouldn't recommend it.”

Ayo Tacos· MilanoLoved“Ayo Tacos has improved significantly since my last visit — the place is cleaner, the tables are fixed, the staff is attentive, and the new Taco Smash Burger collaboration with Vittorio Gucci actually works.”
Vittorio Gucci x Ayo Tacos: Marketing o genio?!
- Popeyes· MilanoLoved
“Popeyes in Milan serves excellent fried chicken — especially the nuggets and tenders — but it's expensive, the cleanliness is questionable, and the onion rings are a miss.”
Popeyes a Milano è davvero così buono? Sì. Ma il problema è un altro…
Kebest· MilanoLoved“Kebest surprised me — the product is excellent, generous portions, good value, and the staff is friendly. The only downside is the location feels rushed and lacks attention to detail in the decor.”
