McDonald’s Australia giant nugget: Brisbane heath coach Bec Hardgrave reveals Maccas trick

A fitness coach has shared a secret McDonald’s hack that gets her a giant Chicken McNugget for a quarter of the price of a six-pack and saves her 90 calories.

Bec Hardgrave, from Brisbane, revealed that she simply orders a McChicken patty on its own along with her favourite sauces.

The 27-year-old claimed that Macca’s uses the same coating on both menu items, hence making the patty a larger version of the popular McNugget.

She performed a taste-test of the food for the first time recently, and gave the hack a glowing recommendation.

Bec posted a video of her journey procuring the giant Chicken McNugget.

‘I’m trying the giant McChicken nuggets at McDonald’s . . . okay, they’re not really called giant McChicken nuggets, but they pretty much are,’ she said in the short clip.

‘Apparently, McDonald’s uses the same coating on their nuggets as their McChicken patties – so I’m just going to order a patty on its own, and it’s only $2.30.’

Bec revealed that a pack of six nuggets usually sets her back $7.70.

‘You know when you just want to have a couple of extra nuggets with your meal but they’re so expensive on their own?’ she asked, with thousands already familiar with her plight.

She recommended trying the giant nugget with her sauce combination of choice: sweet and sour sauce and McChicken.

‘It tastes just like a nugget, but bigger and cheaper,’ she said after biting into the delicious patty. ‘Definitely try it!’

Many were shocked they didn’t think of the hack first.

‘Oh my god, I’m going to Macca’s tomorrow,’ a woman said. ‘How has no one shared this before?’

‘That looks delicious, I have to try this,’ another added.

While others were already on the giant nugget train.

‘I always order a Double Chicken meal. You get the burger and an extra McChicken/ nugget!’ a man revealed.

‘We have been doing this since 2015,’ a foodie wrote. ‘Best Macca’s hack there is!’
