Now as to what exactly they extrude before reforming and call "chicken", that's where McD's scares me.

Again, they list the ingredients. Surprisingly, they actually contain some rather normal things like rosemary. They also contain something that McDonalds simply calls "natural flavoring (animal source)." Kinda sounds like "essence of animal" - rather disgusting. It's also rather odd that they list mono- and diglycerides and lecithin as "seasoning."
