Which McDonald's product name was created by combining “Mc” with “Nuggets”?

Chicken McNuggets is the McDonald's product name formed by combining “Mc” with “Nuggets.”

The name follows McDonald's long-running naming pattern, in which “Mc” functions as a recognizable brand marker across menu items. The product itself consists of small pieces of formed, breaded chicken sold as a branded menu item.

McDonald's introduced Chicken McNuggets nationally in the United States in 1983, after development and testing. The product became one of the chain's most recognizable items and helped extend the McDonald's brand beyond hamburgers.

The naming pattern can create confusion with products such as the McChicken, which is a sandwich rather than a nugget product. The answer refers to the official plural product name used in McDonald's branding.
