When is McDonald’s planning to bring the Chicken Big Mac back?

MCDONALD'S fans will be excited to learn that the Chicken Big Mac will be returning to the menu for a limited time in March 2023.

Here's all you need to know about its return and how you can buy one.

What is the Chicken Big Mac?

The Chicken Big Mac is the traditional Big Mac with a twist.

The beef patties are replaced with chicken ones.

Despite this large change, the rest of the burger remains the same with lettuce, gherkins and the famous secret Big Mac Sauce.

The burger on its own costs £4.49 or £6.09 as a meal., which includes chips and a drink.

When is it being released in the UK?

The Chicken Big Mac along with the other three items are coming to restaurants across the UK from March 29.

The item was originally released for a run of six weeks in February 2022, but it is not clear how long it will be around for this time.

That's not the only change to McDonald's menu this month.

Also making a comeback are the ever-popular mozzarella dippers and the Easter favourites - Creme Egg McFlurry and the Cadbury Caramel Egg McFlurry.

Maccies fans will be able to pick up three of the cheesy snacks in a pack, each coated in breadcrumbs and served with salsa dip.

The two McFlurry desserts include soft dairy ice cream, swirled with pieces of Cadbury chocolate pieces and topped with either Creme Eggs fondant or caramel sauce.

And the Steakhouse Stack, which is made up of two beef patties, a slice of cheddar cheese, crispy onions, red onions, and lettuce topped with a creamy peppercorn sauce, will cost £5.39 by itself or £6.99 as a meal.

Thomas O'Neil, who is head of marketing for the company in the UK and Ireland, said: "We are excited to bring the Chicken Big Mac back to the UK and Ireland.

“It sold out in under a week last year so we know so many people will be as delighted as we are that it’s returning this Spring."

How to find your local McDonald's?

The McDonald's postcode checker is available on the company's website, and is the fastest way to find a restaurant.

With 1,300 branches spread across the UK, you’re likely to have a couple of Maccies options near you. 

How to order McDonald's and how much does it cost?

If you want a Maccies in the comfort of your own home, you have a couple of options to choose from.

For a while, Uber Eats and Just Eat have been delivering Maccies straight to your door. 

You have to create an account which is free in both cases, and downloading either app from Google’s play store or Apple's app store is free for both android and Apple users.

You can also order using the My McDonald’s, which is free to download from the App Store or Google Play.

But whether you can get McDonald’s delivered to you is depends on your area being covered. Again, you can use the Maccies tool to find out. 

All three home-delivery choices come with delivery fees that vary according to your location - so make sure you check before ordering.

In some cases, like when orders are over £7, the apps can offer cheaper delivery options that start at 0.99p - but these offers are always subject to change, so it’s important you check before making your purchase.
