A twist on a classic McDonalds menu item is making a scrumptious debut in the U.S. this month. The Chicken Big Mac — a take on the iconic fat sandwich that’s graced menus since 1968 — dropped at participating locations on Oct.

McDonald’s answered consumers’ call for more chicken options with a riff on its iconic burger that falls short of the competition.

Nutritionists share their thoughts on how McDonald’s new Chicken Big Mac compares to the original and the simple changes to your order that can help make the sandwich a little healthier.

The Chicken Big Mac begins its limited-time run on McDonald's menu later this week. But Indianapolis diners can get the sandwich now.

While the Chicken Big Mac is new to U.S. McDonald's restaurants, it was secretly introduced at a restaurant called "McDonnell's" last week in Los Angeles where a version of the sandwich was served, according to a news release. According to USA TODAY, the sandwich was tested in Miami in 2022 and has been available for a limited time in the U.K.

McDonald’s serves other chicken sandwiches. The Chicken Big Mac resembles the McChicken, which is also made with a chicken patty and served on a plain bun with shredded lettuce and mayonnaise for about $2.99. McCrispy sandwiches are made with crispy chicken fillet and served on potato rolls. They start around $5.49.

McDonald's has added the McRib back to its menus in the U.K. for a limited time, and reports say the sandwich is coming to U.S. locations soon.

McDonald's has made a small but significant change to the McRib, and many are wondering what motivated them to change up the recipe.
