Hundreds of Chicken Legend fans have taken to social media to vent their anger at the chain's decision to get rid of 'the only decent thing on the menu'. James Flanagan wrote: "McDonalds getting rid of the chicken legend is honestly the most ridiculous and disgraceful thing I’ve ever heard @McDonaldsUK you should be ashamed of yourselves!"

Shay told the chain: "The chicken legend is amazing how dare you get rid of it!! Legit won’t get McDonald’s now they got rid of my fave," while D4PHNE said: "I’m sorry but @McDonaldsUK getting rid of the Chicken Legend is going to push me over the edge. I’m wishing them a very nice you go into liquidation and cease
