McDonald’s Big Chicken Mac may be coming to the US soon

McDonald’s hope to attract more US customers with a new, large sandwich called the “Chicken Big Mac.”

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it is. The sandwich is designed to look like Classic Big Macbut in a new way.

Instead of all beef patties, the “Chicken Big Mac” will include two “tempura chicken meatballs”, according to Instagram influencer Snackolator.

Talk of the new big sandwich comes after McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski tested the Chicken Big Mac in March 2024. It’s not the first time the item has been available to diners. In 2022, it was tested as a limited offering in Miami.

The sandwich has gained serious popularity among international customers, particularly in the UK and Australia, to the point where restaurants have had to temporarily remove it from menus due to supply chain issues.

No word yet on whether the “Chicken Big Mac” will make its way to the US. McDonald’s also tested “Big Arch”, a new big burger meant to eclipse the Big Mac, in three international markets. Also, that burger didn’t debut in the US either.

Introducing new items could be one way McDonald’s is trying to win back inflation-weary consumers. The company reported weaker-than-expected earnings in the second quarter earlier this month, which was below Wall Street’s expectations, and revealed that consumers are they struggle with higher prices.

Despite this, the directors they mentioned “value” nearly 90 times during the earnings callpartly in response to its summer release $5 meal deal and other promotions intended for US customers.

most recently, McDonald’s Launches New ‘Collectible Table’ promotion aimed at combining Happy Meals with well-known characters. Despite being a limited time promotion, the cups have attracted enough attention that they are sold on third party websites for about $15 to $100 a pop.
