McDonald\u2019s is finally bringing a beloved menu staple to customers across the United States, but only for a limited time.<\/p>\n
The Chicken Big Mac, which sold out in just 10 days at McDonald\u2019s locations in the United Kingdom, will be available across the pond beginning October 10. Much like the original Big Mac, the new menu item will be built with two tempura battered chicken patties \u2013 instead of the classic all-beef patties \u2013 stacked between cheese, lettuce, and pickles topped with the signature Big Mac sauce on a sesame seed bun.<\/p>\n
The American fast food chain announced the limited arrival of the Chicken Big Mac in a press release shared on Thursday, October 3. \u201cWith the introduction of the Chicken Big Mac, we\u2019re excited to pay homage to one of our most iconic menu items, the Big Mac, and introduce it to a whole new generation of fans,\u201d said Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald\u2019s USA, in a statement.<\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s soft-launched the Chicken Big Mac to foodies in Los Angeles at a pop-up dining experience (McDonald\u2019s)McDonald\u2019s soft-launched the Chicken Big Mac to foodies in Los Angeles at a pop-up dining experience on September 28, fittingly named \u201cMcDonnell\u2019s\u201d and made in collaboration with Chain. According to the company, customers were unaware that the restaurant\u2019s offerings were made by McDonald\u2019s, though they recognized the pop-up\u2019s \u201cChicken Sandwich\u201d as a McDonald\u2019s dupe.<\/p>\n
The Chicken Big Mac was also tested in Miami, Florida, in 2022, before making its way to international markets including the UK. It will be available at participating US locations \u201cwhile supplies last.\u201d<\/p>\n
Most recently, McDonald\u2019s announced the return of its iconic Monster Boo buckets in honor of Halloween. The fast food chain took to Instagram on October 1 to reveal the design of its newest buckets. \u201cHappy spooky szn to all who celebrate. Boo buckets r back,\u201d the company wrote in the caption, before revealing the buckets will be available at participating restaurants in the US on Tuesday, October 15.<\/p>\n
The buckets come in four colors \u2013 blue, orange, green, and white \u2013 and each one features a different happy monster face. Every bucket comes with a yellow handle, along with McDonald\u2019s signature yellow \u201cM\u201d attached to it.<\/p>\n
The plastic container is a temporary replacement for the classic, red Happy Meal box as long as supplies last \u2013 meaning that the only way to get your hands on a Monster Boo bucket is by ordering a Happy Meal, which includes a main dish, a side, a drink, and a toy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
