McDonald’s is bringing a British hit to the US

McDonald’s Chicken Big Mac was a huge hit in the United Kingdom. Now it’s crossing the pond.

Beginning later this month, the burger chain is testing the fan favorite at select restaurants in Miami for a limited time. The Chicken Big Mac is similar to its meaty sibling, however it replaces the two burgers with two tempura chicken patties. Of course, it also includes the signature Big Mac sauce, pickles, shredded lettuce and a slice of American cheese.

McDonald’s briefly sold the limited-time offering earlier this year in the UK. The Chicken Big Mac was so popular that it sold out about 10 days after it made its debut. The chain said that it was its “most popular launch ever” in the UK and Ireland.

In a statement, McDonald’s said that it’s “always looking to give our fans more ways to enjoy the classic menu items they know and love.” However, it cautioned that the Chicken Big Mac is just being tested and it will use “this time to gather feedback from both customers and restaurant crew as we consider opportunities to offer more delicious options in the future.”

Chicken is a ‘transitional’ meat, on the way to mandated insects.

I wish they'd bring these over here. I tried one in Dubai.

Damn good!

And PS, McD's in Dubai is excellent. It tastes like McD's used to taste here in America 40 years ago (if you can actually remember how much better it was).

In Thailand you can get PC packets of sweet chili sauce for your French fries rather than ketchup. Good stuff!!!!

My concern is that “tempura” to me signals too much breading. But, it could hardly be less impressive than their measly offering in the chicken sandwich wars

“Chicken continues to be a significant opportunity for us,” he said in an recent earnings call. “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.”

McHaggis sounds better than old dead hens. There’s a local livestock auction where McDonalds is a major buyer of worn our dairy cows on their last legs. I have zero desire to go to McDonalds. Their advertising is obnoxious, appealing to ghetto dwellers.
