McDonald's worker shares why to always order 20 McNuggets - and never four

A McDonald's ordering hack is said to ensure your McNuggets are their best, says a worker at the golden arches.

The fast food staple is a classic practically in its own category, but this trick reportedly makes your food as tasty as possible.

A man took to TikTok to say that specifically ordering 20 Chicken McNuggets will mean your food is freshly fried.

Apparently if you order a different amount, the kitchen staff could be cobbling together leftover nuggets to make your meal.

After sharing the tip on social media, TikTok user @nicaraguanjesus was inundated with comments as people agreed with his advice - but some threw some doubts on the clip, the Mirror reported.

In the clip, captioned 'you’re welcome', the 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 over 600,000 times and 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."

Then 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."

"If you ask for something fresh they usually always just toss it back in the fryer or grill for a few seconds" commented another user.

McDonald's has been approached for comment.
