Chicken Big Mac is finally landing in McDonald's US

If you're from the States, then we have some good new for you.

The beloved Chicken Big Mac is finally making its way into US McDonald's branches, after you've patiently watched the rest of the world tucking in.

The chicken version of the Big Mac is launching on Friday (October 10th), and much like here in the UK, it comes with two battered chicken patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles and Big Mac sauce, in a sesame seeded bun.

The chicken patties replace the classic beef patties you'd usually see in a Big Mac.

"With the introduction of the Chicken Big Mac, we’re excited to pay homage to one of our most iconic menu items, the Big Mac, and introduce it to a whole new generation of fans," said Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald’s US.

The exciting new menu addition was soft launched in Los Angeles last week, in a pop up dining experience known as McDonnell's.

They sneakily didn't tell anyone the offering was from Maccies, dubbing their “Chicken Sandwich” as a McDonald’s dupe, before revealing the truth.

The Chicken Big Mac was previously tested in Miami, Florida in 2022, and went on to make it to international markets like the UK (where Twisted HQ is based).

The burger will be available at participating US locations “while supplies last" – but if it's anything like the UK launch, we don't expect it to be about for long.

Last time the Chicken Big Mac landed in the UK, it was only available for 10 days before selling out.

It' set to cost $5.50 (£4.21), but the exact price will vary depending on the areas.

The Chicken Big Mac isn't the only new burger US customers will be treated to, as later this year, the Maccies bosses are also dropping The Big Arch too, which is a brand new permanent addition.

The burger, which is already in Canada, is the first new permanent menu item to join US menus since Chicken McNuggets in 1983.

It comes with two beef patties, crispy and sliced fresh onions, not one, not two but three slices of cheese, pickles and lettuce, alongside a new 'tangy' Big Arch sauce.
