<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe Chicken Big Mac, made with \u201ccrispy tempura chicken patties\u201d instead of beef, will be test launched in Miami for a limited time, McDonald\u2019s confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sandwich already made its debut February in the United Kingdom and Ireland to much fanfare \u2014 and significant sales. McDonald\u2019s U.K. announced the limited-edition offering had \u201csold out almost everywhere\u201d<\/a> after a little over the week on the menu. It eventually returned for a limited time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Chicken Big Mac appears identical to the original Big Mac aside from its chicken patties, and comes with cheese, lettuce, pickles and special sauce, McDonald\u2019s said. The version sold in the U.K. did not come with chopped onions; McDonald\u2019s did not list this component among the ingredients in the U.S. version, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the testing goes well, it\u2019s possible the Chicken Big Mac could expand to additional regions or even the nationwide menu, though it\u2019s not guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhile not everything we test makes it on our U.S. menus, we\u2019ll use this time to gather feedback from both customers and restaurant crew as we consider opportunities to offer more delicious options in the future,\u201d McDonald\u2019s wrote in a statement shared with Nexstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n McDonald\u2019s currently offers several chicken sandwiches on the U.S. menu<\/a>, including its McChicken and multiple variations of its Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which debuted in 2021. At the time, McDonald\u2019s Vice President of Menu Innovation Linda VanGosen said the new sandwiches came in response to customer demand<\/a> for chicken items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Around the same time, several other fast-food outlets had announced or began offering their own fried chicken sandwiches following the successful debut of the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich in 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" McDonald\u2019s is taking its beloved Big Mac into new territory by switching out the two all-beef patties for chicken.
