As McDonald's often acknowledge in their advertising campaigns, a lot of people have their own interpretations of what goes into McChicken Nuggets. But what's the truth?

Is it chicken feet? Crushed up chicks? Any and every bit of any bird that you could fathom? Er, no, actually - as explained in My Virgin Kitchen's latest YouTube video, 'A DAY WORKING WITH McDONALD'S'.

Stage One YouTube/My Virgin Kitchen

While the video is an #ad and has been sponsored by McDonald's, we're going to make the assumption that the factory the YouTuber visits, and the processes he watches, are legit.

Stage Two YouTube/My Virgin Kitchen

"I was expecting it to be a bit more complex, but the actual structure for how the nuggets are made is very simple, and the stations in the factory replicate that", he begins at around 3.52 minutes in the video.

Stage Three YouTube/My Virgin Kitchen

"The chicken breast comes in and is inspected by hand before being turned into chicken mince. Now the folks at McDonald's are happy to show [this process]. It's exactly the same thing [as mincing chicken at home], just on a bigger scale. Just chicken breast ground up and then marinated.

Stage Four YouTube/My Virgin Kitchen

"Yes, marinated for extra flavour. It is then compressed and flattened to make pressing the nugget shapes achievable. There are a variety of stages here, [including] a gentle breadcrumb and batter, then flash frying, before going through a slow freezer. Then they're ready to be bagged up."

The chicken nuggets are then fried straight from the blue bags, and then put in a warming cabinet until someone orders them.

Is anyone else very keen for a McDonald's right now? Same.
