A TikTok user's video about how Chick-fil-A nuggets are actually made has gone viral.
As per Indy100, the step-by-step video of how the fast-food chain makes its nuggets has received over 13 million views.
The fast-food chain was established in Georgia and has rapidly expanded to become one of the biggest chains in the US, which is famously closed on Sundays.
While the original video has now been deleted from TikTok, it was reuploaded to YouTube at the end of November and has received over 10K views at the time of writing.
The first frame of the video shows a bag full of raw chicken which is then rolled in what the employee describes as "milkwash". After this, the nuggets are rolled into seasoning before they are fried in cooking oil and transformed into the nuggets that many know and love.
As per Indy100, viewers of the video on TikTok were surprised to see that the chain uses real chicken in its nuggets and seasoning and not something that doesn't resemble actual meat.
However, the news outlet did report that other fast-food employees have got into trouble for posting videos from their work before, including Chick-fil-A employees, which could explain why the video was deleted.
One previously fired Chick-fil-A employee lost her job after she posted a 'secret menu' hacks video on TikTok that was designed to save people money.
Other TikTok users questioned the validity of the video and suggested that it may have been missing vital ingredients as it has long been rumored that one of Chik-Fil-A's secret ingredients is pickle juice.
This comes after many people have tried to recreate the fast-food chain's nuggets at home, putting their guesswork skills to good use.
The validity of the video was later fact-checked by Snopes, which revealed that this is indeed how Chik-fil-A makes their chicken nuggets - so pickle juice really would seem to be nothing more than a rumor.
