The chicken big mac is coming, is new jersey ready?

Get ready New Jersey. If you’re a fan of the golden arches, the Big Mac and the McChicken sandwich, then you might enjoy what’s coming this month to a McDonald’s store near you in the Garden State.

Big Mac lovers, brace yourselves. The long-awaited Chicken Big Mac is finally making its debut in the U.S. After years of only being available in other countries, McDonald’s is giving American fans what they’ve been begging for. Starting October 10, you can grab this reimagined classic at select locations for a limited time. The buzz is real, and it all started with a secret pop-up in L.A. that had fans flipping out.

So, what’s the Chicken Big Mac? It’s everything you know and love about the Big Mac – special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and a sesame seed bun – but instead of beef patties, you get two crispy, tempura-battered chicken patties. It’s a new spin on an old favorite, and McDonald’s is betting it’s going to be a hit.

McDonald’s secretly dropped a dupe version of the Chicken Big Mac last weekend at an L.A. pop-up called McDonnell’s by Chain. It had all the makings of a viral moment: two chicken patties, signature sauce, beef tallow fries, deep-fried apple pie, and soft-serve ice cream. The event was one day only, and fans were obsessed, unknowingly eating a sneak preview of the Chicken Big Mac before it was officially revealed. Talk about a plot twist!

Livestream Hype with Kai Cenat

To celebrate the launch, McDonald’s has teamed up with internet sensation Kai Cenat, a Big Mac superfan, to get to the bottom of a critical question: Is a Chicken Big Mac still a Big Mac? Kai and his friends will be going live all month long to try the new sandwich, so keep an eye on McDonald’s social channels to see their reactions. Spoiler: It’s bound to get chaotic, fun, and probably a little messy.

Mark Your Calendars

October 10 is the big day. You’ll finally be able to get your hands on the Chicken Big Mac, but only at participating locations while supplies last. Whether you’re a Big Mac purist or excited to try this chicken twist, it’s time to see if the Chicken Big Mac lives up to the hype. Don’t wait too long though—it won’t be around forever!

So, what do you think? Is the Chicken Big Mac still a Big Mac, or is it something completely new? We’ll leave that up to you to decide. But one thing’s for sure: it’s not not a Big Mac!
