The incident during Styles' New York residency at
Madison Square Garden was captured in footage posted to Twitter
Styles says in the clip, with a big smile and holding
the poultry projectile. "Who threw the chicken nugget?"
As soon as the crowd "Eat this! Eat it!" starts shouting.
Styles reminds concert-goers that even if it's not extremely unhealthy,
he doesn't enjoy the pink slime variety of dishes: "I don't eat chicken, sorry."
At least it wasn't the Morrissey show, or it might have stopped the concert midway.
Styles' residence at Madison Square Garden runs through September 21.
