McDonald’s Chicken Big Mac Finally Arrives in the U.S. This October

After years of fan anticipation, McDonald’s is finally bringing the Chicken Big Mac to U.S. menus. Starting on October 10, 2024, the much-hyped sandwich will be available at participating locations across the country, but only for a limited time while supplies last. This twist on the iconic Big Mac replaces the traditional beef patties with crispy tempura-battered chicken patties, keeping the familiar special sauce, lettuce, cheese, and pickles on a sesame seed bun.

The Chicken Big Mac has already made waves in international markets, particularly in the UK, where it became one of McDonald’s most successful launches, selling out in just days. U.S. fans have long been eager to try it, and now they have their chance.

To generate even more excitement, McDonald’s secretly tested the sandwich under the name “McDonnell’s” at a one-day pop-up in Los Angeles. The pop-up, which appeared to be an independent dining experience, served a familiar chicken sandwich, but it was later revealed that McDonald’s was behind the whole event. Fans were thrilled, with many comparing it to the beloved Big Mac they already know, but with a chicken twist​.

To further engage with its audience, McDonald’s has partnered with internet star Kai Cenat to stream taste tests of the Chicken Big Mac, inviting his friends to share their reactions. As part of a broader marketing push, this campaign aims to resonate with both loyal Big Mac lovers and a new generation of McDonald’s fans​

Make sure to visit your local McDonald’s before supplies run out to try this exciting new take on a fast-food classic!
