Initially introduced in the late '70s, onion nuggets were a vegetarian option at McDonald's but were not well-received. The company's executive chef, aiming to diversify menu items, created these fried onion pieces, which were only available during certain hours. Following their lack of popularity, McDonald's shifted focus to chicken, resulting in the launch of Chicken McNuggets in the early '80s. The nuggets quickly became a beloved menu item, overshadowing the onion-themed options, which have never caught on in the U.S. market.
The Chicken McNuggets were almost overshadowed by their predecessor, the onion nuggets, which were intended as a vegetarian option but never gained popularity.
Initially designed as a vegetarian alternative, onion nuggets flopped, leading McDonald's to shift focus to chicken, eventually introducing iconic Chicken McNuggets.
