A Coles shopper has been left disappointed after cooking some chicken nuggets - only to discover they had no meat inside.

The video posted to TikTok by user kailovespastrycookie showed the crumbed chicken nuggets were just hollow shells, demonstrating on the video by breaking them open to show they were completely empty.

'How do they forget the chicken, it's literally called a chicken nugget' the video posted on September 16 was captioned.
