A unique version of the Big Mac is coming to McDonald’s – and it’s not the Double Big Mac that came back earlier this year.

Introducing the Chicken Big Mac, a sandwich that has been trialed in other countries such as the U.K. and was also tested in Miami in 2022. This delicious offering will be available in U.S. McDonald’s locations starting October 10.

Instead of the traditional two beef patties, the Chicken Big Mac features two tempura-battered chicken patties. Apart from that change, it retains all the classic elements: the Big Mac bun, special Big Mac sauce, cheese, lettuce, and pickles.

Recently, the Chicken Big Mac made a spontaneous appearance in Los Angeles at a Chain pop-up dining event hosted by a restaurant called “McDonnell’s.” McDonald’s noted that attendees were unaware that the food they were enjoying was actually made by their brand, although some recognized the familiar ingredients.

In the upcoming month, McDonald’s is collaborating with online streamer Kai Cenat, known as a “Big Mac superfan,” to explore the question “Is the Chicken Big Mac a Big Mac?” through live events on McDonald’s social media platforms, including Instagram.

“With the launch of the Chicken Big Mac, we’re thrilled to honor one of our most beloved items, the Big Mac, while introducing it to a new generation of fans,” expressed Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s USA, in a press release. “By leveraging some of our fans’ top interests from dupe culture to live-streaming, we’re able to deliver more than just a sandwich. This campaign offers fun and unexpected experiences for everyone to enjoy before the Chicken Big Mac arrives in restaurants.”
