McDonald's proved that its Chicken Big Mac is an unquestionable best-seller in its stores in the United Kingdom. The fast-food chain just brought back this sandwich early this month after removing it from the menu last month, but it was announced this week that it ill be dropped once again.
McDonald's U.K. was supposed to offer the Chicken Big Mac until March 15, but the date has been cut short as the sandwich got sold out earlier than expected. Customers know that the food item is being offered for a limited time only, but the availability did not even reach the set date, so some people were disappointed.
According to North Wales Pioneer, the Chicken Big Mac was so popular in the U.K. that it got sold out almost everywhere in the country. This situation left McDonald's with no choice but to take it down from the menu list for the second time since it was first introduced in early February this year.
The McDonald's U.K.'s Chicken Big Mac costs £4.09 for a la carte and a little bit more for a meal package. The sandwich features 100% chicken breast fillet patties fried to a crisp with its golden coating. It is served in a toasted sesame seed bun with a slice of cheese, pickles, lettuce, and McDonald's signature Big Mac sauce.
When the sandwich was first taken off the menu, McDonald's wrote on Twitter, "Well, that escalated quickly. Your love for the limited edition Chicken Big Mac knew no bounds and it's sold out almost everywhere. Thank you for lovin' it even more than we thought you would, it will be back soon."
True enough, McDonald's announced the sandwich's return after more than two weeks. But sadly, it was removed again this week. The Mirror reported that at this time, the fast-food chain has no plans of adding the popular Chicken Big Mac to the menu again any time soon. Then again, it was pointed out that due to its apparent popularity, there is a big chance it will return in the future.
"We have been delighted by our customers' reaction to the limited-edition Chicken Big Mac," the publication quoted the McDonald's spokesperson as saying. "Thank you to everyone who has made this the U.K. and Ireland's most popular launch ever."
