McDonald's Is Bringing Back the Chicken Big Mac, But There's a Catch

America may be the birthplace of McDonald's, but it still misses out on some of the fast food giant's most interesting menu innovations from across the world.

Most recently, Americans are experiencing menu item envy over the Chicken Big Mac, a poultry-focused take on the iconic Big Mac that has only gotten national launches outside the United States so far.

While Americans may be disappointed to miss out on the latest Chicken Big Mac launch, the sandwich's success overseas last year is undeniable.

McDonald's said that Chicken Big Mac was so popular during that first run that it sold out in mere days.

For now, fans can hope that these temporary Chicken Big Mac launches are successful enough to convince the brand to debut the menu item in America.

The company did give some lucky customers in the States the chance to sample the Chicken Big Mac when it tested the product at select locations in Miami, Fla., in the summer of 2022.

McDonald's was contacted for comment on any potential plans to release the Chicken Big Mac in the United States but did not immediately respond.

In addition to the Chicken Big Mac, McDonald's restaurants in the United Kingdom and Ireland are launching a brand-new Steakhouse Stack burger that features two beef patties and a creamy peppercorn sauce inside a toasted bun.
