My Chicken Big Mac didn’t feel too dry, but then you’re talking to a guy who grew up on plain Cheeseburgers… I have to agree with the crispiness comment from QP. Today, I also had a regular Big Mac (99p) via an offer on the app and a Double Cheeseburger (no ketchup, extra mustard, extra onions). Luckily he had some other items to cheer him up. I couldn’t bear to see his sad little face as he finished his CBM. He is potentially a bigger McDonald’s fan than me and found his “very dry and tasteless” but it had a “decent crispiness” to it. Joining me on this mission, before our local was invaded by the Midday Maccies Marauders, was Captain QP. What I probably meant was using these new chicken patties instead of 2 x Chicken Selects. I wonder if this could lead to a Chicken Big Tasty in the future as that has also featured around the world but has yet to make an appearance in the UK. The Chicken Big Mac feels like something you could whip up at home using frozen store-bought ingredients (minus the Big Mac Sauce) and even the most famous fast food sauce on the planet struggles to rescue it. I just don’t think chicken works as well as it does with beef. They look a bit smaller than before but have got a satisfying crispiness to them.

You have also been able to sample it in Europe, Australia and The Far East – it seems the UK was pretty much last to get it… Primarily, it has featured permanently on the menu in countries where the general population do not eat beef. There have been countless nations across the globe which have had the Chicken Big Mac available – almost too many to list. I can’t recall the first time I was aware of its existence in overseas markets but I would estimate it was around 2011/2012 when I started an unhealthy obsession of what was on menus in other countries.
