Massive burger news this week as McDonald’s have successfully sold out their UK Chicken Big Mac trial in just 10 days – 5 weeks earlier than expected.
This is VERY interesting news as McDonald’s looks to take a bigger chunk of the chicken market with all the great chicken options around the high street; KFC, Morley’s, Nando’s, and Popeyes and Chick-fil-A over in the US. In fact Popeyes are rolling out locations around the UK as we speak – there’s even one in Westfield in Stratford.
You’d think Maccies might come up with a nice new premium chicken recipe if they were truly looking to make a statement in the chicken game, but nope. Looks like they’ve just swapped out the beef patties in a Big Mac for McChicken patties and voila; there’s your Chicken Big Mac.
Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. I mean I haven’t tried the Chicken Big Mac but the original Big Mac, in my view, is one of the finest burgers around. The thin patties are exquisite. The shredded lettuce and cheese and special sauce are a wondrous combination. Would I like to know how all these scrumptious ingredients hold up on a chicken sandwich? You bet I would.
Unfortunately we’re going to have to wait a little longer because as I said, the Chicken Big Macs are all sold out and it will take some time to roll them out again. McDonald’s announced they will now be trialing the Chicken Big Mac around America too, following its success here. From the sounds of it, it’s here to stay.
