McDonald's Chicken Big Mac

Post by Pink Freud »

I know, I know, nobody here ever patronizes McDonald's, so this post is for the honest people. McD's has released a fried chicken version of its venerable McBreadburger, sans onions.

To quote critic Bill Goodykoontz of the AZ Republic:

"How does the Chicken Big Mac taste?

Like all McDonald's specialty sandwiches, the Chicken Big Mac comes in a box — a Big Mac box. Maybe this is because of the limited-time aspect. Whatever the case, it's big. Really big. The chicken patties, of which there are two, are fried in tempura batter, and they are substantial.

.....a lot of people are saying that the chicken tastes like a couple of giant McNuggets...... The problem I have with it is that the sauce, and there was a lot on mine, overpowers the chicken in a way it doesn't with the beef. The chicken doesn't make a strong impression one way or the other.

It is, of course, a lot. A whole lot. According to McDonald's, the Chicken Big Mac contains 530 calories, 20 grams of fat, 4.2 grams of saturated fat and — this is the part where I began to weep — 61 grams of carbohydrates. It is filling in the way that I would imagine swallowing a ship's anchor would be."

Hmmm, not Mmmm: Thousand island dressing (bottled vomit) slathered over fried chicken? :x :( :cry:

Note: For those who do like the beef Big Mac McBreadburger, try the Hardee's/Carl's Jr.'s Big Carl, if you can find it. Much beefier.

All right, I tried this and it’s actually pretty good. I’ll let Ed chime in to call me a pig Hoosier now.

The thing is you get more meat with this than the beef Big Mac. When I’m eating one of those, I feel like it’s mostly bun and lettuce.

No worries, d-bag Ed is stuffing his face with chicken wings and won't see this for a while. Eddie loves his chicken wings!

I thought the same. I thought it was pretty good and more filling than a regular Big Mac.

It was made by Hardee's/Carl's Jr. They called it the Big Carl, and it was goooood.

I worked at McDonald’s in the 90s, and there was a Double Big Mac with four of the regular beef patties. I never recall hearing about them using the quarter pounder patties, but that would be pretty (bleep) good.

You were a big fan of the Hot Carl as I recall.

They did a Grand Big Mac awhile back that I thought was good. It wasn't 1/4 patties, though, I don't think.
