Chicken nugget emoji copy and paste, by the search words
CLDR is the word list behind emoji search. It files chicken under Chicken and Poultry leg, fried under Fried shrimp alone, sauce under Jar alone and takeout under Takeout box alone. Nugget, nuggets, crispy and dip lead nowhere.
The other nuggets
Wiktionaryβs first sense of nugget is a small, compact chunk, and its example is a gold nugget. Early uses of the word include chunks of ore in Australia. Gold nugget here is Rock, then Coin, one of five emoji filed under gold, and Pick is the only one filed under mining.
Nuggets were developed in the 1950s, by Wikipedia, and are sold both as fast food and frozen for home.
