The £1.69 Lidl snack that shoppers say 'tastes like McDonald's'

Shoppers are raving about a new £1.69 snack from Lidl - saying it tastes just like a McDonald's favourite.

The supermarket giant is selling boxes of 12 nuggets, plus a dip, and customers on social media say they are seriously impressed.

The product was shared on the Snack News and Reviews Facebook page, the Manchester Evening News reports.

The initial post said: "Lidl do Chicken Nuggets & Dip! Just £1.69!" - and so far it's been shared more than 7,000 times.

One happy shopper said: "Bought these today for louis they taste like mcdonalds nuggets", with another saying: "Have had them before the taste the same."

Many vowed to head straight to their nearest Lidl to buy them, with one shopper saying: "Have to stock up for all grand kids."

Not everyone was so impressed, with some shocked to learn how chicken nuggets are made and saying the description of the product put them off.

The front of the box reads: "Made from chopped and formed chicken meat, with 8% liquid seasoning, cooked, breaded, fried, deep frozen."

One commenter said: "The term ‘chopped and formed chicken meat’ concerns me."

Another added: "Why would you put the facted its formed meat on the front of the box. Automatic put off rather it be on back of box where I don't look."

The nuggets are available in Lidl stores now.
