McDonald’s is bringing its fan-favorite Chicken Big Mac to the US, and this time, it’s not just a fleeting affair.

The Chicken Big Mac is exactly what it sounds like – a mouthwatering mashup of the iconic Big Mac and the beloved McChicken. Picture this: two “tempura” crispy chicken patties nestled between those familiar sesame seed buns, layered with cheese, lettuce, pickles, and that oh-so-special sauce. It’s like the Big Mac went to chicken heaven and came back reincarnated as a crispy, juicy dream.

Now, you might be wondering, “Why bring it back?” It turns out that the Chicken Big Mac was such a hit in the UK that it sold out in a mere 10 days. Talk about chicken fever! McDonald’s UK even had to pull it from menus earlier than planned due to overwhelming demand. The sandwich has also proven to be a hit in Australia.

That said, this isn’t the first time that the Chicken Big Mac has been tested in the U.S – it was previously tested back in Miami in 2022 as a limited-time-offer.

But there’s more to this story than just satisfying our collective chicken cravings. McDonald’s is playing a smart game here. With inflation hitting wallets harder than a triple-decker burger hits your stomach, the fast-food giant is looking to keep its menu fresh and exciting. And by introducing (or in this case, re-introducing) menu items like the Chicken Big Mac, McDonald’s is giving customers a reason to keep coming back without having to slash prices.

Unfortunately, the exact return date of the Chicken Big Mac is still under wraps for now. McDonald’s is keeping us on our toes by building up that anticipation.
