A Bag of Chicken Nuggets is a sealed bag of frozen nuggets, mostly found in restaurant freezers. The bag itself is opened rather than eaten. The Open Bag of Food recipe turns it into 3 Chicken Nuggets.
The bag weighs 1.0, which is heavy for its contents. Each nugget inside weighs only 0.2. Opening the bag before a long trip saves weight. The nuggets spoil within days once they thaw, so a freezer is the best place to keep the bag. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
Each Chicken Nugget from the bag lowers hunger by 10. A nugget holds 230 calories, with 26 grams of protein, 10 grams of carbohydrates and 8 grams of fat. A full bag of 3 nuggets lowers hunger by 30 and gives 690 calories in total.
That makes one bag a strong meal for a character who needs to keep weight on. The nuggets taste better hot, so they are best cooked and eaten straight away.
Cooking
The nuggets cook in 20 minutes and burn after 40. An oven or a fire suits them best. They do badly in a microwave and come out less pleasant to eat.
Each nugget can go into a Burger or a Burrito, adding 10 hunger. In a Sandwich, a Salad or a Taco it adds 5. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in an evolved dish.

Storage
The bag stays fresh for 3 days and is fully rotten by day 5. A fridge slows both counts, and a freezer slows them far more. Bags found in a working freezer should stay there until they are needed.
Locations
Bags of Chicken Nuggets are mostly a restaurant find. The freezer in a Jay's Chicken kitchen holds one almost every time. Cafeteria, diner, burger and deep fry kitchen freezers carry them a little under half the time. Restaurant kitchens are another good bet. Gigamart and grocery store freezers hold them less often. A home freezer, a garage freezer or a survivor safehouse freezer can also turn one up.
