The most expensive chicken nugget sold at online auction is $99,997 (£70,709 / €82,190), sold by eBay user ‘polizna’ with the listing “McDonald’s Among Us shaped Nugget from BTS Meal”, on 4 June 2021.
The nugget resembles a character from the hugely popular multiplayer videogame Among Us. It was also part of an exclusive meal launched by McDonald’s in collaboration with multiple Guinness World Records title holders BTS. Having been listed for only $0.99 and receiving no bids for the first two days, the nugget received an initial bid of $14,969 which sparked a huge amount of interest online, with the official Among Us Twitter account even posting about the auction. After 183 subsequent bids, the nugget sold for just under $100,000 and will be delivered “frozen and then air sealed to ensure freshness”, according to the item description.
