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.
Nobody used anything as an excuse. It FAILED IN THE MARKET. Face it, you’re an outlier. Most folks don’t want that stuff after 10. And those that do want BETTER than McD.
You’ve been shown the evidence. Playing “see no evil” just makes you willfully ignorant. I don’t truck with people who want to be stupid. Bye.
Too far for me to go for one of those. I live in central NY State. The last time I went to a McDonald's here before the 2 p.m. breakfast shut-off, I ordered two Biscuit, sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches at the drive-thru. I got up to the casher's window, only to be told that they stop doing biscuit sandwiches at 10:30 a.m. I asked: "Then why did the guy take my order, and not tell me they weren't being served?" All she asked me in return was if I wanted to cancel my order. I ended up ordering two Sausage Egg McMuffins. Biscuits are out here.
You're the one who replied to my initial comment. I didn't invite you to be a martyr...although a failed one at that.
Only martyr here is you. Nailed yourself to the McD breakfast cross and now you want everybody to salute.
You would think in todays wired world the shake machine would be on the net sending reports.
URGENT: Machine underutilized,profit effected
My father — now in his early 90’s — has us keep a stock of Egg McMuffins for him in the freezer. He is apt to eat them as a meal or a snack at any time.
We once tried Popeye’s years ago. Barf, never went back. McD’s spicy chicken sandwiches are too hot. Sonic’s chicken sandwiches are ok but I can do better at home and I don’t like eating out.
I’d much rather cook at home as it’s easier on the budget, I don’t have to waste an hour’s worth of gas and I don’t spit in the food.
Just bought chicken quarters for 45 cents per pound (1 lb. = 1 thigh + 1 leg) which is waaay less than those sandwiches. De-bone a thigh and fry it up to make at least 2 purchased sandwiches.
Made lemon pepper chicken with some thighs last night. Using the leftovers for tonight’s green chili chicken enchiladas at about 35 cents each with cheese being the only significant cost.
A freebie are the bones to cook down for stock. Never understood buying chicken stock.
“I don’t care if ya post about the eating habits of city rodents. I just think it’s odd people can post about what’s on the menu at some slop joint, but become hysterical over someone’s vanity thread.”
Well, aren’t you the superior one. Dude, you’re sounding like a democrat. Don’t even know why you’re bothering posting on this thread. When was the last time you posted an article? I’d like to see some.
I know the managers at a couple of restaurants and they’ll actually do my egg&cheese or Egg McMuffin at any time of day, but I ask only when they aren’t too busy.
I made a statement. You chose to throw yourself on the fire to refute it. That doesn’t make me the martyr. You said “bye.” Why are you continuing to blather?
That’s cool. Don’t tell too many people about it. Too many Karens out there.
you made an incorrect statement. I provided information. And you keep whining and whining and whining on and on about it. Oh you’re a martyr alright. Maybe I’m enjoying making fun of the whiny bitch now.
You know with 1/4 of the effort you put into pissing and moaning about these things you could learn to make your own egg mcmuffin, and do it better. But of course then you wouldn’t get to martyr yourself.
God bless him. I hope he gets to enjoy his Egg McMuffins for many years to come!!
McPlant, STFU Kylee.
No FACTS are the judge and jury of what statement EVERYWHERE are correct and incorrect. And the FACTS are breakfast all day was a mistake. The facts have been presented to you, you choose to ignore them because then you couldn’t be a martyr. Actually those stories include primary source material had you bothered to read any. At 73 you shouldn’t be so addicted to being wrong. You are wrong. I’ve proved it. Now you’re either a man and can admit it, or a puss who can’t.
IHOP? Not if there is a Waffle House in town.
You must lead a very exclusive life being the elitist that you are, and thinking yourself right all the time. You must be fun to work with, and a blast at parties.
