We all love chicken nuggets, but let’s be real—not all nuggets are created equal. Some folks swear by nuggets from a specific fast-food place, while others prefer them dino-shaped. So yes, while nuggets are amazing, they’re definitely not all the same.

And we’re not alone—McDonald’s has the most popular nuggets in 19 states, the highest number across the country.

Coming in second place is Chick-fil-A, with its nuggets being the favorite in 17 states. Cheapism had this to say about Maine’s selection:

Congrats, McDonald’s, you could really use a win. More than anywhere else in the country, McDonald’s was the top choice for chicken nuggets. They’re iconic, so I get it, but if you ask me? Poor sauce choices and inconsistency make these a lower-tier nugget.
