Who’s craving for a Big Mac? The two all-beef patties are probably the highlight of the Big Mac experience, along with the special sauce that complements the flavor, all sandwiched in a sesame bun. But what happens if you substitute the beef patties with chicken? Then you get a new McDonald’s menu!
McDonald’s has a pretty good lineup of chicken sandwiches and they’re one of the trusted fast food restaurants if you want to get your classic chicken sandwich fix. It makes perfect sense that they are upgrading their chicken sandwich offering through menu additions and limited-time offers. Speaking of limited-time offers, McDonald’s is finally bringing the Chicken Big Mac near you!
You can finally put the McChicken to rest by trying the new Chicken Big Mac! It is packed with tempura batter fried chicken with cheese, lettuce, and pickles, all smothered in Big Mac’s special sauce. It has been on some McDonald’s menus in other countries, but in the U.S., it only made brief appearances in select McDonald’s locations.
Chris Kempczinski, CEO of McDonald’s, said that he recently conducted a side-by-side taste test of both Big Mac and Chicken Big Mac, and he loved both. Now, you may wonder what the difference is between these two. According to Kempczinski, the Chicken Big Mac has a crunch that you might not get in a Big Mac. So yes, I do think this sandwich is worth the try!
I know that you’re excited about the big drop, but there aren’t any official announcements yet about the release of the Chicken Big Mac. Stay updated by following McDonald’s official Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) pages. You can also check if it’s available in your area by downloading the McDonald’s app.

What Makes The Classic Big Mac Special?
The Big Mac has been a classic menu item at McDonald’s since it was first served in Pittsburgh during the 1960s by franchise owner Jim Delligatti. Customers started to pour into McDonald’s franchises that Delligatti owns, so he decided to keep releasing new burgers for his mostly male customers who work in steel mills. What do you serve tired and hungry customers? A huge burger that’s worth a day’s meal, of course!
It’s not every day that McDonald’s drops a new version of a classic menu item, nor a menu item from an international McDonald’s menu. So, you better take advantage of this opportunity to grab them as soon as they are announced as available in a McDonald’s location near you.
What To Expect From The Chicken Big Mac
The Chicken Big Mac may be new to many, but McDonald’s has actually been testing them at select locations for the past few years. You may be curious about how the actual Chicken Big Mac tastes, and we’re bringing you just that!
A fan from TikTok tried the Chicken Big Mac for the first time last year. Since she doesn’t eat beef, she’s happy to finally taste a Big Mac that is made just for her. The fan notes how crispy the chicken is, so props to Kempczinski for that. However, she wonders why it hasn’t been a part of the permanent menu since it looks like the ingredients are available right in the kitchen.
Some commenters suggested that she could request to trade the beef patties for McChicken patties. However, some countered that they use a different type of chicken patties, as the McChicken ones tend to be a lot smaller. The tempura-battered ones from Chicken Big Mac might just make a difference. 😉

A Chicken Big Mac is coming to McDonald’s soon? Go and take my money! As a fan of chicken sandwiches, this is good news for me! I don’t usually order Big Mac at McDonald’s as I sometimes find it to be too overwhelming for me. But a Chicken Big Mac? I know I’ll be eating it til the last bite. 😋 I just hope that McDonald’s makes this a permanent part of their menu.
