Chicken nuggets hold a special place in many people’s hearts. Those small, breaded chunks of chicken take us back to childhood and simpler times But what happens when an innocent chicken nugget goes astray and ends up burnt? Let’s explore the curious case of the burnt chicken nugget
A Brief History of Chicken Nuggets
Before we can understand the burnt nugget, we must first understand the unburnt nugget. Chicken nuggets as we know them today were invented in the 1950s. Taking inspiration from Japanese chicken tempura, food scientists experimented with chopping and binding chicken meat to create small, bite-sized pieces that could be easily mass-produced.
After much trial and error, the first commercially sold chicken nuggets were introduced by Tyson Foods in 1983 McDonald’s chicken McNuggets also debuted in the early 1980s. Thanks to their kid-friendly taste and shape, chicken nuggets became an instant hit Today, chicken nuggets are beloved by children and adults alike.
The Appeal of a Perfectly Cooked Nugget
A properly cooked chicken nugget should have a light crunchy exterior coating surrounding moist tender chicken on the inside. Each bite should pack a satisfying crispy texture that gives way to juicy savoriness. This balance of flavors and textures is part of what makes chicken nuggets so craveable.
When cooked just right in the deep fryer or oven, the breading on a chicken nugget becomes perfectly golden brown. The chicken inside cooks through gently, leaving it juicy and delicious. This ideal nugget has just the right crunch and just the right amount of chicken flavor. It’s no wonder we’ve been enjoying chicken nuggets for decades.
An Innocent Nugget Goes Astray
Sadly, not all chicken nuggets meet this ideal fate. Sometimes, through overcooking, an innocent nugget emerges from the fryer or oven burnt to a crisp. Its coating may become an inedible blackened shell while its inside dries out completely. All traces of juicy chicken flavor vanish.
This burnt nugget is a travesty, completely unfit for human consumption. Still, many of us feel pity for the poor overcooked nugget. We mourn the loss of its potential. If only it had been cooked a little less, it could have delighted someone’s taste buds.
The Causes Behind the Burnt Nugget
There are a few common reasons a chicken nugget might become burnt:
- Cooking at an excessively high temperature
- Leaving nuggets in the oven or fryer for too long
- Overcrowding the pan or baking sheet
- Having bits of breading fall off, allowing the chicken to overcook
- Simple human error
Any of these mishaps can transform an innocent chicken nugget into a burnt disaster. Once burnt, there is no going back. The nugget is lost forever.
What Happens When You Eat a Burnt Nugget?
Sometimes people are tempted to eat a burnt nugget anyway. After all, it’s still chicken, just a little crispier. But consuming burnt food poses risks.
The charred exterior of a burnt nugget contains higher levels of advanced glycation end products, or AGEs. AGEs have been linked to inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Eating burnt meat may also increase cancer risk.
Of course, eating the occasional burnt nugget likely won’t cause harm. But making a habit of consuming burnt foods is unhealthy. The best option is to discard blackened nuggets so you don’t risk ingesting toxic compounds.
Giving the Burnt Nugget a Proper Goodbye
When we encounter a burnt nugget, it’s only natural to feel some sadness over its untimely end. After all, we can imagine the tasty nugget it could have become.
If you need to give the burnt nugget a proper goodbye, consider holding a small backyard ceremony. Say a few words about the nugget’s potential and promise. Make peace with the loss, then bury the nugget in the ground. This can provide emotional closure.
Preventing Future Nugget Burning
To avoid burnt nuggets, follow cooking instructions carefully. Set your oven or fryer to the recommended temperature and cook nuggets for the ideal amount of time. Avoid overcrowding them. Stay nearby so you can remove them right when the timer goes off.
You can also invest in a deep fry thermometer to monitor oil temperature. Try baked nugget recipes that use the oven’s convection setting for even crisping. With some care, you can prevent further nugget casualties.
The Life Lessons of a Burnt Nugget
This tale of burnt chicken nuggets may seem silly, but it can teach us some meaningful life lessons:
- Appreciate things when you have them – that perfect nugget could be burnt in an instant
- Pay attention to prevent accidents – don’t let a moment of neglect ruin something good
- When something is beyond saving, let it go – clinging to the burnt nugget won’t make it better
- Look to the future – learn from mistakes and take steps to avoid repeating them
So next time you bite into a perfectly cooked chicken nugget, savor every second of that crunchy, juicy bliss. Show gratitude for this nugget that avoided a burnt demise. And if you ever do encounter a burnt nugget, reflect on the valuable lessons it provides, then give it a proper send-off.
Chicken nuggets hold a special place in our hearts. With care and wisdom, we can keep them in that perfect unburnt state we all crave. Here’s to the tasty, crispy past and future of the chicken nugget! Just try to avoid burning any.
Hey guys. Eli here. I am in school majorly. So it’s gonna take a while for me to write due to writing on weekends only. And I sometimes forget about them. But I still am here!!

Yoo, may I ask for headcanons of CC!SBI meeting up with Reader (whos also a streamer) for the first time? What would they do? What kind of places would they go together? What chaos would they create at conventions and off-camera? Thank youu
Yes. I can! Sorry that this will take a bit. So when it does come out I hope you like it.
- let’s start up with the obvious. Either you’re In America or some place out of England. Maybe Ireland or Scotland.
- Fuck it you’re Scottish.
- So phil, wilbur, tommy, and techno had to take planes. The three in England waited for techno to land and when he did they hopped on the soonest plane to scottland.
- Let’s just say you are the one who planned it. You didn’t even know that they were coming over. But since you’re a teenager. You’re parents knew.
- So when tommy just walked into your room, slamming the door open like he owned the place. You jumped so hard. It wasn’t like you were playing a horror game or anything right?
- You were so your stream heard you screech and saw you fall out of your seat. You seemed ready to fight but stopped when you saw the familiar face.
- Chat blew up when you literally pounced at the four. Having no friends that lived near you they were the one who knew you best.
- You guys would probably mostly stay in due to the social anxiety you had. Playing games, streaming and answering questions.
- When you guys do go out everyone is wreacking havoc. Going to a McDonald’s or Burger King? Yelling. Just jokes every where.
- At a mall? Yall carrying bags and deciding what store to go to.
- People seemed so confused. Until they realized you guys were streamers and some of your fans were coming up asking for photos, autographs.
- Alright let’s just say you all went to build a bear.
- You and Tommy kept shouting about you guys being bears. You literally dressed them as your selves.
- “Tommy look it’s me!” It was a bear of your favorite color, a large hoodie rested over its figure.
- “Wait! That looks like you tommy!” You were quick to spot his bear, blonde, a white shirt with red sleeves covered its body.
- “Oh my God look as phil’s!” You were the literal embodiment of a caffeine rush.
- Phil’s was a crow stuffed animal with a little hat and a green over coat.
- It was literally you guys building your selves or you’re characters.
- Techno was a pig in a monarch outfit. And wilburs was a orca with a turtle neck.
- After you guys paid you posted pictures of them.
- The memory was going to live forever.
- The types of games you play while at your place were Mario cart, fnaf, outlast, minecraft, house, and many more games, be it horror, multiplayer, comedy.
- Playing horror with most of them left them terrified while you were enjoying the adrenaline. Jumping at the scares, having fun with the others.
- Yes it may have came to come to an end but you guys planned for the same time next year.
- This was gonna contine and there was no stopping it.

anon here! I was wondering if we could get some low mood/depression comfort from good ol Dadza? Ive been feeling pretty down lately so itd be nice. He/him pronouns please! xx
Yes. I have been feeling so down too and I have just been needing fluff.
He’s my lap warmer.
One thing you love about techno, he was normally faceless. Meaning you could just lay there and soak up his warmth. Enjoy the company. Watch him wipe the floor with these noobs.
That was if you were silent. Today you messed up. It was a mincraft stream. You thought that he was muted. “I’m cold. And in pain can you help me.” Your voice was tired. You appointment for your first testosterone was tomorrow and you just wanted his company.
“Yeah. Just come here.” His voice was tense.
Not knowing why you just casually climbed into his lap, ear to his heart, staddling his waist as you just lay there. “This is my boyfriend. Or as I like to call him my personal lap warmer.” You hummed lightly as you looked at the screen.
“He’s honestly one of the best people I know. Love him to death. He’s helped me so much and now I’m helping him through what he needs.” Facecam was on and he wasn’t muted. But chat was spamming alot of supporting things.
You never really had an issue with chat. That was due to the fact that you never really were noticed. Then a dono came up.
“To your significant other. Blood king, queen, thing, or God/goddess of blood? Due to your status to our blood God.”
Thinking for a second you decided. “God of blood. Anarchy for life.” You were quick to speak.
“You sir are correct.” Techno spoke. Looking down to you. “So how do you like my lap warmer guys? He’s amazing eh?” Chat was exploding.
Ever since his cancer diagnosed he’s been tired, but he’s going strong. There was no reason for him to give up now, you, his fans, his friends. the blood god will never die.
“hey. i’m not a lap warmer only you ass.” lightly pushing his head away from you he laughed. “oh come on you’re warm and comfy to me. let me joke around about it,” with that you gave a pout and rolled your eyes.
chat was booming with the issue of a ship name. “guys guys, their the anarchy parents, or the anarchy dads.” laughing lightly at the names you spoke, “anarchy dads, that sounds better then anarchy parents. how do you feel about that techno?” he hummed slightly. “if thats what they decide on i cant stop it. so as long as you feel okay with that im good.”
chanting through out the chat, then a discord call. philza minecraft’s name was on one of the desktops, one that was opened to discord.
answering it with his free hand techno was quick to greet him. “hallo!” you nodded, “philza minecraft has joined the call. pog!” you spoke.
“ah hello. i had to check in on you guys, it seemed your stream was booming quite a bit. had to check in.” such a dad. “yeah. (y/n) decided to join in and it seems like the chat loved him.”
“i can see that.” waving to the camera you relaxed a bit more, “i havent seen your face before. but i can see why techno brags about you.” ah yes, techno’s bragging, it’s something that happens alot when you lay on his lap when he does stream. it was one of your favorite places.
“yeah. when he does brag im normally exsiting on his lap, either watching him or sleeping. it’s kinda weird to hear it,” you streched slightly. “but it assures me that im not the only one that thinks so highly of the other.”
“so you think of him just as highly? it seems nearly impossible with how much he talk about you.” you could hear the smile in his voice. “yeah. but i dont really brag that much. just kinda vibe here and think that im saying it.” techno was starting up a game of bed wars.
“ha. you’re gonna wipe the floors with these noobs.” you smirked slightly.
“you are quite correct.” techno was fast to speak up, anwsering you.
“techno we’re stealing your boyfriend. he’s ours now.” you looked at the screen, your face resting in a upset look. “im not going to go. he’s my boyfriend and i love him too much.” you spoke.
god even if you werent such a secret now you loved techno too much to leave him. and you were staying with him. no and if or buts about it.
hello people. as it gets closer and closer to my appointment on the 27th of january, i get more and more scared and all. so im sorry it’s take me a bit to finish up my request right now.
and thank you for people who are being paitent with me.
Anonyme asked:
can we get some sweet cc!techno x male or gn reader where they celebrate halloween? like carve pumpkins or decorate or go trick or treating w sbi??
- Ahem. Childhood trauma here. I haven’t trick or teated in a good year and tonight was the first time in a while tonight.
- Let’s say that you haven’t either. And when sbi all met up, you all decided that you guys would for tommy and tubbo. It soon also became you guys due to the fact that they heard you haven’t trick or treated once or so in your life.
- Your costume. Along with techno. You posted a poll on four costumes and it turned out everyone wanted scorpion and sub zero.
- After a bit of debate you got sub zero and techno got scorpion.
- Your costume
- (Photo not mine)
- You guys were serious about if. Because why not?
- Technos costume.
- Phot not mine
- So you made alot of kids days too. Alot of fans as well.
- God you guys loved it. Best part is. Sometimes when people were done they just fuckin dumped their bowl, evenly, into yours, techno, Tommy’s, and tubbos bags.
- Also. I think you guys would also decided to go home and give out the good cush. Like full sized candy bars and hot coco, or apple cider, and for the adults a little bit of happy juice you guys called it. Apple cider with a bit of apple alchohol.
- You guys even had a fire for some kids to get warm. You knew how cold it got with the small outfits they used sometimes.
- You were one of the best houses on the block. Everyone loved you.
- Let’s just say that you guys decided that you wanna stay in for holloween, not giving out candy, trick or treating.
- You guys stay up all night, binging scary movies. And by binging I mean 3 movies for techno and he’s out like a light.
- Only because you had this man in your lap, running your fingers through his hair.
- The hot coco and empty pie plates from earlier were sitting on the table. Seeing as you two just loved the snuggles and sleepy atmosphere one of you were bound to sleep.
- Switching it from the scary movie you were on you were quickly putting on reruns of an old show you watched alot.
- When you fall asleep you gently slide under techno, him now laying his head on your chest, falling alseep yourself as you turned off the t.v.
- The rate of which you knocked out was incredible almost immediately after you hit that power button you were out. Fast asleep.
- Pumpkin guts everywhere.
- Walls, floor, ceiling, even windows. How?!
- So you asked techno to help gut the pumpkins you were using for pie. It started as him jokingly tossing the smallest amount of the guts at you.
- He didn’t expect to get hit right in the face.
- There was a war of pumpkin and he lost.
- Cutting them in half you and techno literally were watching them bake with fluff. Just sitting there waiting for it to get done.
- When that timer went off you all were excited. Then there was almost an hour of baking time left.
- You had extra pumpkins. Meaning, pumpkin carving.
- It wasn’t anything too good. Just the triangle eyes, nose, and weirdly shapex mouth. It was beautiful though.
- You holloween was one of the best. It was so sweet wholesome. And God people would kill for it.

I have a request! Could you write a cc!philza with teen streamer reader (platonic obviously)? The reader is having trouble with their identity (gender, pronouns, sexuality, ect.) and is just having a rough time with their appearance and self-hatred. Them and Phil have a really close father-child bond and one night the reader is having a terrible day emotionally and just talks it out with him over discord vc?
Yes. I need and want fluff. So yeah of corse.
Living alone was fun. Living alone while being a streamer was just as fun. But being able to fully express your self was nice. But the issues was, you had no idea on what or who you were.
You knew you weren’t you assigned gender. your body was no where near how you wanted it to look.
And worse of all you only felt disgust from the person you were. The bad eye bags. The clothes you didn’t want to dress in. That haunting constant use of the wrong pronoun.
It felt so bad. And the issues was. No matter how hard you tired there was nothing that seemed to fit. Nothing that seemed correct.
You were supposed to stream but due to wanting to see if it made you feel more like yourself you cut you’re hair a bit shorter. It did. It made you feel happier. But it wasn’t fully the best job. So you had to go to a barber.
After that you felt too drained to even stream. You tweeted to your followers just to let them know, you were alive but something came up and you couldn’t stream.
They all told you to stay healthy and keep your health first.
It was only a matter of time before you broke and called Phil.
“Hey. (Y/n) you seem to not be doing well?” Sighing lightly you nodded with a hum. “Well what’s got you down?” The question wasn’t forced by him. It was meant truly.
“I don’t know. Ever since I moved out I have been wanted to find out more of me. I hate how I look. How I dress. How I act. I want to be myself but I don’t knwo where to start.” Phil let out a little hum. Seemingly knowing what you were meaning.
“Well. That’s for you to decide, how you act is something you control. Be a wild as you want. Or as mellow as you can be. How you dress? You can change it up. Find outfits you like and grow from there. And who you are? You are who ever you want to be be it Mike, Carlos, cayenne, bucket, Cheyenne, even fuck. I don’t care. We want you happy.” No judgement. Only support.
“Now the issues is one step closer to becoming you is finding your name or names. Pronouns, and hair style you know the things people see first.” Phil was fast to hop on this train itching to know what he should call you. Who you were.
“That’s the issue I have been having for so long now dadza. Do I feel like a boy? Sometimes. Girl? Some of that too. Nothing but a void? Quote a bit. But it’s so hard for people. Constantly changing between them.” Your voice was full of upset tones.
“So? Who said you had to follow what people find easy. You are someone that you create. You feel like a boy? You’re a boy. You feel like a girl? You’re a girl. You feel like a void? You are a void. Until I get told other wise. You’re my child. No pronouns until you tell me.” You felt comfort.
This man just kept telling you that you deserve to be happy. This man basically adopted you.
“Be whatever you want mate. You have to reach for the stars. And you are so close.”
