Nick's intro[]
Chicken McNuggets
The McNugget: following a failed attempt to introduce chicken to the world's biggest hamburger chain in the form of a pot pie, the two-bite-sized chunks joined the menu in 1977, amazingly intended as a healthier alternative to beef.
Orange Chicken: a traditional dish from Hunan Province with a thick chili sauce often meant to disguise lesser forms of meat as poultry. In 1987, Chef Andy Kao introduced a sweeter version for western palettes to America's largest Chinese food franchise.
The Original Orange Chicken
They're two of the most popular chain-restaurant chicken dishes, but which of these Small Pieces will be the big winner?
This week on Doughboys, the tournament begins with the first match-up of the Quarter Pounder Final Round of Munch Madness: The Tournament of Chompions: Chicken Fight: Small Pieces Region: McDonald's vs. Panda Express.
Let's a-go!
Chicken Fight Rules[]
