Background
Earlier this month, McDonald’s released a teaser to a brand new meal using famous internet streamer Kai Cenat, showing off a meal bag with “Not Not a Big Mac” on the receipt in Kai’s room before later the item being pulled out of the bag, revealing to be the Chicken Big Mac. It is the same concept as the regular Big Mac, but instead of beef patties, it uses chicken patties. This item has been highly anticipated by those all over the US because the Chicken Big Mac has actually been around for a long time, but only in other countries. Last weekend I got the chance to try the Chicken Big Mac, and as a big fan of McDonald’s myself, this is my personal review of it.
Review
First of all, for those that wonder, it is not the same as the Mcchicken. What I mean is that they use different patties than the Mcchicken patty; the new patty for the Chicken Big Mac is a more chicken nugget-like tasting patty, but still tastes pretty good. They do also use the Big Mac sauce, and it honestly compliments the chicken very well. On the other hand, the sandwich is quite hard to finish. It feels way too overwhelming; the thick chicken patties and the large portion of Big Mac sauce in-between just made me feel like my arteries were slowly flooding with fat after each bite. And the extra slice of bread just tops it off. Personally, I’d think the sandwich would be better without the middle slice of bread because the patties make the sandwich thick enough. I’d probably not ever order it again if I’m trying to enjoy a nice lunch. However, it is an interesting experience, and it’s not common that McDonald’s releases new items in the United States, so definitely try it out.
