More than four million people have watched the video, claiming they're just like the real deal.
McDonald's closed it's stores across the United Kingdom on March 23 to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
To recreate the famous nugs at home, you need either pre-diced chicken or fillets, which you’ll then have to chop up.
This is where your blender or grinder comes in, as you’ll then need to blitz the meat.
Joshuah said: “We’re going to blend it in batches and we’re going to pulse it.

“You can use a grinder if you have one, but I don’t have one I’m guessing a lot of you don’t have one.
“You can use a blender, works just as good.”
You’ll end up with mush-like consistency, which you then need to season with salt and pepper.

Next you’re going to form your nuggets, with Joshuah saying: “The key to shaping your nuggets is to keep your hands wet so it doesn’t stick to you.”
He reveals his tray of perfectly shaped 'McNuggets', joking he made some “McDonald’s” and “dinosaur” shapes.
Next you need to put the tray of nuggets in the freezer for around two hours to firm up.

You then need to make your ‘dry mix’ in a big bowl, and make your ‘wet mix’ in another bowl.
Joshuah shares the precise order to dip the mix, saying: “Once your nuggets are hard we’re going to go dry, wet, dry, wet.”
In the meantime, heat a large pan with a good amount of oil, and wait until it’s hot and bubbling before popping your nuggets in.

Joshuah says: “Make sure they don’t stick to each other, fry them about two minutes each side.
“Take them out and you got chicken McNuggets.”

The only thing left to do is to slather them in some BBQ sauce.
