<p>The most famous chicken nugget of them all, the McDonald’s McNugget, turns 40 this year. So we’re asking, who invented the Chicken Nugget? </p><br><p>Enter food-scientist Robert Baker who came up with them twenty years before the McNugget was even a glimmer in Ronald McDonald's eye. Baker was a poultry alchemist who could turn a chicken into anything he wanted. And he did it all to try to save the chicken farmers he loved so much.</p><br><p>Editing and sound design by Stuart Beckwith, Produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long</p>
