Food fans rave about Home Bargains McDonald’s chicken nuggets saying they taste just like the real deal in an air fryer
IF YOU are a fan of McDonald’s and want to have your own at home, we’ve got just the thing for you.
Joe Stutter, an admin on the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, which has 2.2million members, recently took to the social media page to show off his cheap find.
When shopping in his local Home Bargains, whilst in the freezer aisle, the bargain hunter spotted a bag of 25 chicken nuggets, made with 100% chicken breast with a crispy battered coating.
The nuggets look strikingly similar to those from McDonald’s and are just £2.69 for the 25-pack.
McDonald’s menu is the same across the UK – stock and ice cream machines permitting – but its prices differ.
If you were to buy McNuggets from the fast food chain, six chicken nuggets cost from £4.09 while nine are £4.39 and a share box of 20 is £5.39, according to JustEat.
So if you want a treat but don’t want to drive to your nearest McDonald’s and wait in a drive-through queue, you’ll want to head down to your local Home Bargains and get your freezer stocked up with this bargain dupe.
The post has clearly impressed many, as at the time of writing, it had quickly amassed 300 likes and 268 comments in just one day.
Social media users were desperate to nab a bag and many said that if you cook them in an air fryer, they taste just as good as the real deal.
Many parents also revealed that their kids love these chicken nuggets.
One person said: “My grandson totally thinks these are McDs.”
