McDonald’s fans have a new reason to get excited: the Chicken Big Mac is making its way to the United States in 2024. This new sandwich will bring a twist to the classic Big Mac by replacing the traditional beef patties with crispy chicken.
The announcement came from McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski, who shared the news in a recent video. He praised the Chicken Big Mac, comparing it to the original Big Mac. Kempczinski described the Chicken Big Mac as having the same iconic structure as the classic version, including three slices of bread, lettuce, cheese, and McDonald’s famous Big Mac sauce, but with two chicken patties instead of beef. He also highlighted the distinct crunchiness of the chicken, which he believes adds a unique texture compared to the beef version.
Fans of McDonald’s will remember that the Chicken Big Mac has already enjoyed popularity in other countries. It has been a hit in places like the UK and Australia, where it was so well-received that it had to be temporarily removed from the menu due to high demand. International responses have been positive, with some describing the Chicken Big Mac as tasting like "a big chicken nugget" and praising its flavour.

Interestingly, this won’t be the first time the Chicken Big Mac has appeared in the U.S. McDonald’s tested the sandwich in Miami in 2022 as part of a limited trial. The company said at the time that it was exploring new ways for customers to enjoy their favourite menu items.
While the exact release date for the Chicken Big Mac in the U.S. has not been confirmed, fans can look forward to its arrival sometime in 2024. McDonald’s is expected to provide more details as the launch date approaches.
For now, fans of the Chicken Big Mac can look forward to enjoying this new take on a classic favourite, combining the beloved Big Mac elements with a new, crispy twist.
