McDonald's fans with 'high hopes' divided over brand new McCrispy

McDonald's fans have been divided after the fast food restaurant introduced a brand-new burger. The McCrispy is the chain's first permanent chicken burger in 15 years.

It's described on the website as a "100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating. Served with iceberg lettuce, black pepper mayo and delicious sourdough-style sesame-topped bun".

The brand-new burger is available from today for just £6.99 as part of a medium meal and £7.59 for a large, and if it's anything like the McPlant, it's bound to sell out in some areas, so you better grab one quickly.

Since its launch today, however, fans have been divided. While some love it, others are less happy about the fact that it's taken the place of the beloved Chicken Legend.

"The McCrispy sucks. I had high hopes," said one disappointed customer.

Another complained: "The McCrispy is a glorified McChicken. McChicken is far more superior."

Others weren't overly impressed. One said: "McCrispy was sooo good, but not worthy of permanently replacing Chicken Legend!"

Many declared it the middle of the road, with lots of fans sharing average ratings. One tweeted: "McCrispy was ok. 6/10"

Thankfully, it's not all bad news for Ronald, as many customers were huge fans. "I was very impressed with the @McDonaldsUK #McCrispy Burger, might just be my go to!"

A second said: "Can confirm the McCrispy is indeed pretty crispy". While a third added: "The new mccrispy so good."

The burger is joined on the menu by:
