McDonald’s on Thursday announced the launch of the highly anticipated Chicken Big Mac starting October 10.
The fast food chain said fans in the United States have been requesting the Chicken Big Mac since it first appeared on McDonald’s menus internationally.
The original version of the beef Big Mac will now be available for a limited time, while supplies last. It will cost around $5.50, but will be cheaper in some areas and more expensive in others.
Its arrival in the US, after selling on and off in Europe for years, was first rumored in August.
“With the introduction of the Chicken Big Mac, we are excited to pay tribute to one of our most iconic menu items, the Big Mac, and introduce it to a whole new generation of fans,” Tariq Hassan, head of marketing and customer experience. said a McDonald’s USA official.

‘By tapping into some of our fans’ biggest passions, from cheat culture to live streaming, we can serve more than just a sandwich.
“There really is something for everyone to enjoy in this campaign and we are delivering experiences that will surprise and delight you, all before Chicken Big Mac hits restaurants.”
The Chicken Big Mac is built like a Big Mac, but with two tempura-battered chicken patties replacing the classic beef patties.
McDonald’s revealed it was behind a mysterious ‘McDonell’s’ pop-up dining experience in Los Angeles last weekend, which included ‘The Chicken Sandwich’.
Eagle-eyed fast food fans recognized it as a McDonald’s scam.
The ‘strangely familiar’ recipe included two chicken burgers, special sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickles on a sesame seed bun.
Streaming star and prominent Big Mac superfan Kai Cenat will help McDonald’s answer the question: Is the Chicken Big Mac a Bog Mac?
Fans can follow McDonald’s social channels to find out when Cenat will invite his celebrity friends on his livestream to try the Chicken Big Mac and share their reactions.
The Chicken Big Mac is the latest new menu item at McDonald’s this year.
In January, the Double Big Mac, which has four beef patties instead of two and extra sauce, returned for a limited time. It costs around $7 and was a hit while it was on sale for a month.
Then in August, the chain announced that an all-new, larger burger called The Big Arch would be coming to the U.S. later this year. He is already in Canada.
It will be the fast food giant’s first permanent new global product since Chicken McNuggets in 1983.

McDonald’s Big Arch burger has finally been introduced
McDonald’s is bringing back breakfast bagels in four varieties, including the sausage variant shown here.
The Big Arch burger has two-thirds of the calories that adults should eat each day, and that’s without fries or a drink.
The new burger has two patties and comes with crispy, sliced fresh onions, three slices of processed white cheese, pickles and lettuce, and a new “spicy” Big Arch sauce.
All of that adds up to 1,030 calories and 66 g of fat, according to the menu listing.
It also emerged that fan-favorite bagels are returning to breakfast menus after four years.
Bagels were first introduced at McDonald’s in late 2019, but were soon removed when bosses simplified the menu in spring 2020 during the pandemic.
