McDonald's is entering the chicken sandwich war with this crispy little number...
Who can forget last year’s chicken sandwich wars? I kind of miss when the Popeyes and Chick-fil-a feud was the most dramatic thing going on in my life. Even Wendy’s and Shake Shack got in on the action, but this year McDonald’s is the brand to watch.
The Golden Arches are debuting a brand-new Crispy Chicken Sandwich early next year, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it. Here’s what we have to look forward to in 2021.
McDonald’s Menu Is Getting Bigger
McDonald’s put out a press release revealing its intention to “expand its chicken offerings,” partly by introducing this new sandwich, but they didn’t give too many details besides the name—the Crispy Chicken Sandwich! I’m confident that McDonald’s will wow us with juicy fried chicken, a delicious soft bun (brioche, maybe?!), and some unique new sauce to top it all off.
We’re thinking that this new sandwich will build on McDonald’s other chicken offerings—especially the McChicken Biscuit and the Chicken McGriddle. If you’ve had those delicious breakfast items, you probably get why we’re so excited.
Another addition to the McDonald’s menu will be the McPlant. If you’re not sure what that is, you’re not alone—the McPlant is McDonald’s first-ever plant-based burger. The patty is made by Beyond Meat (you may have heard of them before) layered with lettuce, tomato, cheese and onions, all finished with a sesame seed bun. Even if you’re not a vegetarian, this sandwich will be a guaranteed hit.
Try These in the Meantime
The new McDonald’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the McPlant won’t be around for a little while, but that just gives us something tasty to look forward to. We can most likely expect the new sammies in early 2021, though we’re hoping for an official rollout at the end of December. Only time will tell!
While you wait, you can always rely on Chick-fil-a for a good chicken sandwich. We’ve even got your back with the best chicken sandwich recipes to make at home. Right before the heavy food of the holidays begins, a chicken sandwich is a great healthy meal to keep yourself going. I might just go pick one up right now.
My local McDonald's lines move quickly with their two ordering stations. They're open 24/7 and are busy, even at 2 a.m.
Somehow I don’t think the average McDonald’s customer is going to step up to the counter and say, “One McPlant, please!”
One McEstrogen burger with a super size order of fried soy curds.
Is this from the chicken sandwich news desk?
And some people get hysterical over vanities...☺
McDonald’s used the lockdown to get rid of breakfast all day. They can kiss my ass.
mcdonalds doesn’t want me as a customer
I know I wouldn’t.
Yeah, tell me about it.
I tried the Popeye’s and I gotta tell ya I was not impressed. It was a huge piece of fried white chicken meat on a bun with mayo.
They say all the other McDopey product names.
Clucking news?
McRib returns, Dec. 2.
That impresses me!!!
“I tried the Popeye’s and I gotta tell ya I was not impressed. It was a huge piece of fried white chicken meat on a bun with mayo.”
Breakfast all day was a dumb idea. Running both side by side is a pain. And not enough people want breakfast late. And the people that do, go to IHOP.
will it be actual whole chicken? Or pressed chicken parts?
And ‘Please gimme a McGrass” aint exactly appetizing
I do usually like the sauces- and if they use a great bun, could be a good tasting chicken sandwhich-
God help anyone looking forward to the “McPlant”.
Could have just compromised by making breakfast available until noon.
I found it interesting and it’s news. And, yes, I’m your self-appointed fast food reporter.
I’ve become a foodie and I’m interested in the food industry. Usually my food posts get pretty good responses. Everyone is interested in food.
Tell you what: if this thread gets fewer than 20 replies then I’ll stop posting fast food articles. Also, it a mod doesn’t think it’s appropriate for FR, they can delete it. Wouldn’t bother me a bit.
Haven’t eaten in one of those filthy joints in decades
I’m glad you think you get to speak for every other American.
