Woman sets new world record by scoffing most chicken nuggets in a minute

A British woman has trounced the competition and set a new world record for the most chicken nuggets eaten in one minute.

Leah Shutkever smashed through the previous record when she scoffed down 19 of the poultry treats in the allotted time.

The chicken gobbled by serial record-breaker Shutkever had an impressive total weight of 352g.

Her efforts obliterated the record set by fellow competitive eater Nela Zissar, who managed to snarf a mind-boggling 298g of nuggets in 2020.

But Leah didn't stop at the sprint section of nugget-eating, also setting a new record for the most nuggets put away in three minutes, a test of endurance as much as speed.

In 2020 she managed to chow down on 775.1g of nuggets in 180 seconds.

This edged past the previous record of 746g, which had been held by fellow Brit Thomas Welborn.

Leah, from the West Mids, set her latest nugget achievement while backstage at the Guinness World Records Italian TV show, Lo Show Dei Records, in Milan.

The good egg holds a slew of world gongs for eating quickly, including her 2019 accolade for fastest time to ingest three mince pies (52.21 seconds).

She also crammed down three pickled eggs in a record 7.80 seconds in 2019 and ate eight tomatoes in a minute in 2020.

The foodie also set records for eating a muffin in 21.95 seconds and for devouring the most marshmallows in a minute by eating 20, using no hands for either.
