McDonalds gave the Big Mac a whole new look: they swapped out the beef for a crispy chicken patty which most resembles their menu item the Chicken Mc Nuggets. Is it as good as everyone describes it? Here is everything you need to know about the new Chicken Big Mac.

 McDonald’s quotes on their main site “two juicy, tender chicken patties, topped with our iconic Big Mac sauce, shredded lettuce, American cheese, and pickles,” making it clear that they wanted to recreate the wonderful Big Mac experience for chicken lovers. At first glance it looks like any other Big Mac. It still has the three buns, same sauce, lettuce, and pickles. However, the Crispy Big MacIt contains two crispy chicken patties instead of beef, giving a similar taste to the original but instead a different flavor due to the change in protein. 

The sauce, layers and satisfying bite of the original Big Mac are still present in the new Chicken Big Mac. The juicy and crispy inside pair well with the special sauce because it’s not too dry but not too creamy ultimately making it taste delicious. 

Although the precise calories differ somewhat because of the fried chicken, nutritionally speaking, it is similar to the original Big Mac which contains 590 calories and 25g of protein. The Chicken Big Mac has a whopping 700 calories and 25g of protein. All things considered, it’s a great choice for anybody craving a new twist on a Big Mac. 

For McDonald’s, the Chicken Big Mac seems like the next step for success. It’s a fantastic option that keeps most of the Big Mac’s flavors if you’re a chicken lover and want to switch things up. The crispy chicken adds texture, and the sauce just makes everything better. Many locations are only serving it for a short period of time, and the hype shows that it may soon be added to the regular menu. Although it’s very unlikely to replace the original, the Chicken Big Mac is a good new choice for anybody who wants the Big Mac flavor with a little twist.
