About the Chick-fil-A Nuggets

The nuggets are the chicken sandwich's fillet cut into pieces and cooked the same way — pressure-fried, in the same seasoning.

As of 2018 they were the third most-ordered item on the menu, behind the Waffle Potato Fries and soft drinks.
Chick-fil-A Sauce, which most people order with them, originated at the Spotsylvania Towne Centre restaurant in Virginia in 1983.
