McDonald's fans upset after biting into the Chicken Big Mac for the first time

The Chicken Big Mac was placed back on the McDonald's menu today, but fans are already bitterly disappointed. The burger made a brief appearance on the menu last year but was discontinued in March 2022.

Upon hearing the news that the Chicken Big Mac would be returning today, many Maccies fans took to social media to share their delight upon its return.

On Twitter, Lis said: "Chicken Big Mac is back my day has been made." Jace tweeted: "Chicken Big Mac was surprisingly really good. Prefer it to the meat version."

Parz tweeted: "The chicken Big Mac is amazing" while Anni exclaimed: "THE CHICKEN BIG MAC IS OUT IN THE UK! I REPEAT THE CHICKEN BIG MAC IS OUT!!!"

However, not everyone was so enthusiastic about it. Many other comments called for the return of breakfast bagels instead, and some people recommended McDonald’s create some new styles of burgers instead of bridging back old ones.

One Twitter user said: "I tried the Chicken Big Mac today and was disappointed. The McChicken patty shouldn’t be smeared in Big Mac sauce. It’s just so wrong. And with pickles? No, just no. Leave the McChicken alone!" Prairie fairy tweeted: "PSA chicken Big Mac absolute dogs***, don’t waste ur cash."

Having never tried the Chicken Big Mac, we decided to see whether or not it was worth Maccies bringing it back to menus across the UK.

Naturally, we also bought the original Big Mac to see which one would come out the winner.
