McDonald’s Introduces the Chicken Big Mac: A New Twist on a Classic
The Big Launch
McDonald’s recently released its newest creation, the Chicken Big Mac, with a splash of fanfare. The fast food giant partnered with social media and influencer Kai Cenat for a live stream launch event, generating excitement among customers. For those who ordered the sandwich through the McDonald’s app, a poll was conducted to get their feedback on whether the new sandwich truly lived up to the classic Big Mac name. Initial results were overwhelmingly positive, with a majority of customers agreeing that it was indeed a Big Mac.
What’s in the Chicken Big Mac?
The Chicken Big Mac boasts "two juicy tempura chicken patties" instead of the traditional two beef patties found in the original Big Mac. The rest of the sandwich remains largely unchanged, featuring American cheese slices, shredded lettuce, pickles, sesame seed buns, and of course, the iconic Big Mac sauce. The price for the sandwich is identical to that of a traditional Big Mac – $6.29 plus tax. Combos, including a side and drink, range from $10.29 to $10.89.
Other Chicken Options at McDonald’s
While the Chicken Big Mac is a unique offering, McDonald’s already has several other chicken sandwich options on the menu. The McChicken, made with a chicken patty and served on a plain bun with shredded lettuce and mayonnaise, is a classic option at around $2.99. The McCrispy sandwich, featuring a crispy chicken fillet on a potato roll, starts at approximately $5.49.
A Sneak Peek at the Chicken Big Mac
Before its wide release, the Chicken Big Mac was previewed at a one-day pop-up event hosted by Chain, a celebrity-driven "secret event space" in West Hollywood. The event, which is invitation-only, creates elevated versions of popular fast food items in a speakeasy-like atmosphere. Customers can sign up for the service and receive text message notifications when new drops become available.
