McDonald’s is introducing the Chicken Big Mac across more U.S. locations, featuring crispy tempura-battered chicken, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and the iconic Big Mac sauce. This limited-time offering promises a unique twist on the classic burger.
McDonald’s Introduces Chicken Big Mac Nationwide, Featuring a Crispy Twist on the Classic Burger
McDonald’s enthusiasts might find themselves craving a Big Mac, well-known for its two all-beef patties, special sauce, and sesame bun. But what happens when the beef is swapped for chicken? The answer lies in a new addition to McDonald’s menu.
McDonald’s, already trusted for its chicken sandwiches, has decided to expand its offerings with a twist on a classic. The Chicken Big Mac will visit more locations as part of a limited-time offer. This new sandwich features tempura-battered chicken, cheese, lettuce, pickles, and the iconic Big Mac sauce, all packed between a sesame seed bun. Although it has appeared on international menus, its presence in U.S. locations has been sporadic until now.
McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski personally taste-tested the traditional Big Mac and the Chicken Big Mac, expressing his appreciation for both. He noted that the Chicken Big Mac offers a crunch that sets it apart from its beef counterpart, suggesting it is worth trying.
While the exact release date for the Chicken Big Mac in the U.S. remains under wraps, fans are encouraged to stay updated by following McDonald’s official social media channels or checking the McDonald’s app to see if it’s available locally.
From Steel Mills to a New Era: The Chicken Big Mac Reimagines a McDonald’s Classic
The Big Mac has been a staple at McDonald’s since the 1960s when Pittsburgh franchise owner Jim Delligatti introduced it. Known for serving substantial meals to hungry steel mill workers, the Big Mac quickly became a hit. McDonald’s is poised to make history again by introducing a new version of this beloved classic.
The Chicken Big Mac may be new to some, but McDonald’s has been quietly testing it in select locations for years. Last year, a TikTok fan who doesn’t eat beef shared her excitement at finally enjoying a Big Mac tailored to her preferences. She praised the crispiness of the chicken, echoing Kempczinski’s comments, though she wondered why it hadn’t been added to the permanent menu, given the readily available ingredients.
Some commenters suggested a workaround by swapping beef patties with McChicken patties. Still, others noted the difference in size and texture between the McChicken and the tempura-battered patties used in the Chicken Big Mac. This fundamental distinction might be what makes the Chicken Big Mac stand out.
