If you're a McDonald's fan then you may have a favourite menu item or even a favourite store - the one that cooks your order just the way you like it. But if you are a chicken nugget fan, one man claims to hold the secret to the perfect chicken chunk.
Sharing his advice on TikTok, a man claiming to be a McDonald's worker, says you should always order a 20-piece McNugget meal, and absolutely never just four. He added that if you order 20 then your meal will be 'fresher', so you're McNuggets will be as good as possible.
He went on to say that if you order a lesser amount, then kitchen staff may be able to scrape together your order from leftovers. He says that this might mean your chicken portions have been sat there a while.

TikTok user @nicaraguanjesus, who shares various clips from one of the fast food giant's restaurants, was inundated with comments as people agreed with his advice - but some threw some doubts on the clip, reported the Mirror.
In the clip, captioned 'you’re welcome', a worker pulls out a tray of McNuggets and it appears to contain just 21 portions - so nearly all of the freshly cooked bits are needed for a 20 piece meal. However if someone before you ordered ten, and then you also ordered ten, your McNuggets could be from a previous batch.
The video has been viewed on social media thousands of times and has had hundreds of comments as people are divided by the tip. One follower said: "No wonder when I got my 10 piece it wasn’t as crispy as they were when I get 20."
A second added: "Or just ask for them fresh and make everyone else suffer and wait for your order." But others weren't so sure, as one user added: "If you ask for it to be fresh they gone put it in the grease for a few seconds yall. Just get that 20."
And another wrote: "Nah half of the nuggets be fresh the other half be old. If you want fresh nuggets ask. They are going to bag up all the old nuggets up first." Someone else added: "If you ask for something fresh they usually always just toss it back in the fryer or grill for a few seconds". The Mirror has approached McDonald's for comment.
