On October 15, 2020, Kyra Kupetsky, the lead animator of BuzzFeed's Animation Lab, premiered the series on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram as a part of a few animated web series owned by BuzzFeed, such as The Land of Boggs. In 2022, the show debuted on YouTube, as part of the YouTube Shorts platform, long-form videos are occasionally exclusively posted there. On February 4, 2023, Genius Brands International through its Frederator Networks subsidiary proposed a deal to BuzzFeed's Animation Labs that they would develop and produce a series based on the original works from BuzzFeed’s Animation Labs into an extended series, which included Chikn Nuggit in consideration because of its rapid growth in popularity, gathering over 7 million followers. Michael Hirsh, CEO of Wow Unlimited Media, the parent company of Frederator Network, stated on the project: "We are pleased to further expand our roster of original animated series with BuzzFeed, giving the global fans of wildly popular IP, such as Chikn Nuggit, more of what they love." It became the second IP in development since the deal, after The Land of Boggs. On March 11, 2026, the conflict between Kupetsky and BuzzFeed was resolved. BuzzFeed agreed not to use Chikn Nuggit characters in AI projects and Kupetsky resumned to work on Chikn Nuggit. == Notes ==
