Since the meat has now been cleaned and separated it can now undergo a process I like to call Crustification. (Trademarked)
The delicious crusty outside of a chicken nugget is created when a special batch of ingredients such as dirt, wood, skin, pig fat, dog fur, and a mix of different warts are mushed over the nugget. It is then superheated to 999999999991087654321 degrees Fahrenheit. Now it provides a safe coding preserving the nugget, which is why Chicken McNuggets sales are over passing that of beans-the traditional Doomsday prepped item. McNuggets can go 12335678911 decades before going bad, as long as they aren't in contact with watermelons. Watermelons are very well known for causing pre-mature moldification (also trademarked.) which makes them lose the nugget ness I guess.
