Wikipedia: Chicken nugget
A chicken nugget is a food product consisting of a small piece of deboned chicken meat that is breaded or battered, then deep-fried or baked. Invented in the 1950s, chicken nuggets have become a very popular fast food restaurant item, as well as widely sold frozen for home use.

Are chicken nuggets considered a type of meatball?
Maybe not the square-shaped ones, though.

Chicken nuggets are a meatball.
They’re a ground “meat” with binders and seasonings. The only difference is they’re breaded and deep fried rather than just pan fried or baked.
I suppose they could also be considered sausage without a casing.
