The Big Mac is an American icon. We have all had one in our lifetimes, and as I remember, they were delicious.
However, as I got older, I stopped ordering it since it was so high in calories, and let’s face it, they are not suitable for you at all.
When I was out recently, my daughter decided to order the iconic meal, and I noticed just how small the patties were.
The patties could have been maybe an ounce each if that.
Though, that is all about to change.
If you’re a fan of the “idea” of a Big Mac, you will love this news. There’s a “reboot” coming, and very soon, you’ll be able to get a delicious chicken, Big Mac.
There’s been a TikTok trend for a while now, where people went to McDonald’s and swapped out the beef patties for two breaded chicken patties. I guess McDonald’s execs took notice and decided to make it a menu item.
Sure, you’ll still be able to get the usual Big Mac, but now, you can also get this reboot version.
The New York Post reported what McDonald’s had to say about the reboot.
We’re always looking to give our fans more ways to enjoy the classic menu items they know and love,” McDonald’s said of the addition of the new Big Mac, according to Fox 6.
The sandwich will include two tempura chicken patties, pickles, shredded lettuce, and American cheese, a combination the company said was a huge success when rolled out to customers in the U.K.
The Chicken Big Mac comes amid a fast food feud dubbed the “Chicken Sandwich Wars,” which have intensified since Popeyes introduced its popular chicken sandwich in 2019. Other chains have followed the trend, with McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s introducing new sandwiches meant to compete with Popeyes and Chick-fil-A.
“Chicken continues to be a significant opportunity for us… We’ve got some great global equities already in our McNuggets and with McChicken, but we also have some equities in McCrispy and McSpicy that we think we’ve got an opportunity to do more with globally. So that’s going to be a priority area,” McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski said in a Q2 earnings call.
They’re rolling this out in Miami, and it’ll make its way to a location near you soon.
In the meantime, if you want to order this, you can. Just ask for a “Big Mac” with chicken patties instead of beef.
Thanks, TikTok.
