A 3-ounce serving of chicken nuggets generally corresponds to about 5 to 6 nuggets, depending on their size and brand.
- For example, Pioneer Chicken nuggets weigh about 0.5 ounces each, so a 3-ounce serving would be roughly 6 nuggets
- Just Bare chicken breast chunks from Costco average about 5 nuggets per 3-ounce serving
- Typical breaded chicken nuggets often have 4 to 5 pieces per 3-ounce serving, as noted for various brands
Since nugget sizes vary, the count per 3 ounces can range slightly, but 5 to 6 nuggets is a good estimate.
