McDonald’s finally confirms the Chicken Big Mac is coming to the US – and SOON
McDonald’s announced on Thursday the launch of the highly anticipated Chicken Big Mac from October 10.
The fast food chain said fans in the US have been asking for the Chicken Big Mac since it first appeared on McDonald’s menus internationally.
The twist on the original beef Big Mac will now be available for a limited time, while supplies last. It costs about $5.50, but will be cheaper in some areas and more expensive in others.
Its arrival in the US – after years of being sold on and off in Europe – was first rumored in August.
“With the introduction of the Chicken Big Mac, we’re excited to pay tribute to one of our most iconic menu items, the Big Mac, and introduce it to a whole new generation of fans,” said Tariq Hassan, head of marketing and customer experience . official at McDonald’s USA, said.

“By tapping into some of our fans’ greatest passions, from dupe culture to livestreaming, we can serve more than just a sandwich.
“There really is something for everyone to enjoy in this campaign and we’re bringing experiences that will surprise and delight them, all before the Chicken Big Mac reaches restaurants.”
The Chicken Big Mac is built just like a Big Mac, but with two tempura-battered chicken patties replacing the classic beef patties.
McDonald’s revealed it was behind a mysterious ‘McDonell’s’ pop-up dining experience in Los Angeles last weekend, featuring ‘The Chicken Sandwich’.
Eagle-eyed fast food fans recognized it as a McDonald’s dupe.
The ‘strangely familiar’ recipe included two chicken patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickles on a sesame seed bun,

The Chicken Big Mac is the latest new menu item from McDonald’s this year.
In January, the Double Big Mac — with four beef patties instead of two and extra sauce — returned for a limited time. It cost about $7 and was a hit when it was on sale for a month.
Then in August, the chain announced that an all-new, larger burger called The Big Arch would be coming to the US later this year. It’s already in Canada.
It will be the fast food giant’s first new permanent global product since Chicken McNuggets in 1983.

The Big Arch burger has two-thirds of the calories adults should eat every day – and that’s without fries or drinks.
The new burger has two patties and comes with crispy and sliced fresh onions, three slices of white processed cheese, pickles and lettuce – and a brand new ‘spicy’ Big Arch sauce.
All that adds up to 1,030 calories and 66 grams of fat, according to the menu list.
It has also emerged that fan-favorite bagels are back on breakfast menus after four years.
Bagels were first introduced at McDonald’s in late 2019, but were quickly cut when bosses simplified the menu in spring 2020 amid the pandemic.
