And when she got home, Lucia was quick to cook up a batch of the nuggets – to see if they were a dupe of the McDonald’s classic.

“I saw these chicken nuggets in Home Bargains the other day, and I thought they look really like McDonald’s, so I’m gonna try them and see if they’re a dupe,” she began her TikTok video, holding up the £2.69 bag.
“I am going to air fry these, because air fryers are life, and if you don’t have one, what the f**k are you doing?” she joked.
“But you can deep fry them, you can oven cook them, or you can air fry them.”
She also cooked up some chips in her air fryer, and took a big whiff of the meal when it was ready as she exclaimed: “They smell like McDonald’s chicken nuggets!”

Lucia then tucked in, as she said: “Oh, my God. See, when I say they are so like McDonald’s, I had McDonald’s chicken nuggets 2 nights ago.
“They have that McDonald’s taste to them, right?”
Once she’d tried the nugget the first time, she decided to taste it again after dipping it into McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce.
“Oh, my God,” she exclaimed once again.
“If I close my eyes and you told me that that was McDonald’s, I would 100% believe you!
“It is so like McDonald’s. Oh, my God.
“These are amazing. Insane!”
The comments section was immediately filled with people weighing in on Lucia’s find, with one writing: “Oh, I want!”
“They’re so nice,” another agreed.
“They taste even more like maccies when you have them with the sauce,” a third said.
As others shared where else they’ve found McDonald’s nugget dupes.
“Quorn nuggets have all the shapes of McDonald’s and they are AMAZEBALLS!!!!” one said.
“Heron’s version, deep fat fried, are 10/10 spot on,” another added.
“The McCains quick cook fries in the air drier shook in salt are also just like McDonald’s,” a third wrote.
As someone else insisted: “The nuggets from farm foods taste exactly like the McDonald’s ones!”
