The new sandwich becomes available Thursday, Oct. 10, for a limited time at restaurants across the U.S. The Chicken Big Mac sandwich shares similarities to the traditional Big Mac: it's served on a Big Mac bun and its toppings include Big Mac sauce, cheese, lettuce and pickle slices – but no onions.
And instead of the original sandwich's two all-beef patties, the Chicken Big Mac has two tempura battered chicken patties.
The Chicken Big Mac won't be new to every McDonald's customer. It was tested in Miami in 2022 after being available in the U.K.
Some markets already have the Chicken Big Mac on the menu including Indianapolis (where it's priced at $4.59) and El Paso, Texas (where it's $5.99).
The Chicken Big Mac, which has been tested in other international markets, is coming to McDonald's in the U.S. starting Oct. 10. McDonald's
