Most likely, the Big Mac is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of McDonald’s. The Big Mac features two all-beef burgers, a special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions, all served on a sesame seed bun.
What if we substitute the renowned beef cakes with fried chicken? You get the Chicken Big Mac, a popular burger in other countries that is now coming to the United States.
What does the Chicken Big Mac look like?
The Chicken Big Mac is similar to the Big Mac, but it features chicken instead of beef. While it’s been available in some other countries for a while, only a few locations in the U.S. offer it. People in the United States can now try this new take on their standard sandwich at McDonald’s, but only for a short time.
The Buzz: Why?
The CEO of McDonald’s, Chris Kempczinski, recently tried the Chicken Big Mac. Kempczinski thought both burgers were better than the original Big Mac when he put them next to each other.
He thought the chicken version’s “crunch” was the best thing about it, which you don’t get with a normal Big Mac. One big selling point was the different smoothness, or “mouthfeel,” as he called it.
The chicken patties, which McDonald’s calls “tempura chicken patties,” add a unique crunch. If the batter sounds familiar to you, it’s because McDonald’s famous Chicken McNuggets use a similar recipe. That being said, the Chicken Big Mac might be beneficial for people who like McNuggets.
How the Chicken Big Mac Feels
Let’s talk about what a Chicken Big Mac has to offer. First, there’s the Big Mac Sauce, which is a famously spicy and creamy dressing for the sandwich. After that, there is lettuce, pickles, and cheese, just like the original.
You’ll get two fried chicken burgers instead of beef, though. One small difference: the beefy Big Mac comes with onions, but the chicken one doesn’t.
Some people have expressed both positive and negative opinions about the Chicken Big Mac in comparison to other fast food chicken burgers. Some people who recently tried the McDonald’s McCrispy Chicken Sandwich didn’t like the texture.
They called it “strange” and said it broke down too easily in their mouths. Even though the Chicken Big Mac sounds good, it may not taste as good as Kempczinski’s.
Where and when can you get it?
McDonald’s has not yet confirmed the nationwide availability of the Chicken Big Mac. You might be lucky if you’re in Miami, though. Burger Beast, a food writer, says that the Chicken Big Mac is already on the menu at some places in Miami.
On the McDonald’s app, the sandwich costs $4.99, which makes it a decent choice for people who want to try something new.
What makes the Chicken Big Mac unique?
The cakes are one of the most captivating parts of the Chicken Big Mac. If you hear the words “tempura chicken patties,” you might not think of these as your average fast food chicken filets. Instead, they might be bigger versions of McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, which are known for having a skin that is crispy like tempura.
If so, the Chicken Big Mac might be different from other chicken burgers on the market in a way that makes it enjoyable to eat.
What Will Come Next for the Chicken Big Mac?
Customers will decide if the Chicken Big Mac stays around or not, just like with any limited-time deal. If it’s a hit, McDonald’s might bring it back for good or give it only during certain times of the year. It might not live up to promises, though, and it may disappear like many other fast food experiments.
The Big Mac with chicken is a must-try.
The Chicken Big Mac is worth trying if you like the original Big Mac or if you like McDonald’s chicken dishes. Adding crunchy chicken to the usual Big Mac toppings and sauce gives an old favorite a fresh look. Plus, it only costs $4.99 (at least in Miami), so it’s a cheap way to discover more.
Conclusion
The Chicken Big Mac isn’t just a novelty; it shows that McDonald’s is ready to try new things and give people something new. The first Big Mac will always have a place in fast food history, but the Chicken Big Mac might be able to find its own place.
The Chicken Big Mac is coming soon to your local McDonald’s. If you love Big Macs or just want to try something new, keep an eye out for it. This will only be here for a short time, so don’t miss out on the excitement!
