Frequently Asked Questions – 🍔 Chicken Big Mac®

The Chicken Big Mac® is a chicken-based variation of the iconic Big Mac, featuring two crispy tempura-style chicken patties instead of beef. It maintains the classic Big Mac architecture with a three-part sesame seed bun, shredded lettuce, American cheese, dill pickles, and the signature Big Mac sauce. This limited-time offering provides a crunchier, chicken-forward alternative while preserving the familiar Big Mac taste profile that customers love.

The Chicken Big Mac® typically costs between $6.49 and $7.99 as a single sandwich, depending on your location and regional pricing. As a combo meal with medium fries and a medium drink, expect to pay around $9.99 to $11.99.
Since the Chicken Big Mac® is often a limited-time or promotional item, pricing can fluctuate based on availability and local market conditions. McDelivery® orders usually cost more due to delivery fees and service charges.

The Chicken Big Mac® features the iconic Big Mac sauce—a creamy, tangy condiment crafted from a blend of sweet pickle relish, mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, vinegar, and spices, all emulsified in a mayonnaise-like base. This sauce is essential to the Big Mac’s signature taste, delivering richness and a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with the crispy chicken patties. No other sauces come standard, but you can always request additional condiments.

Yes, McDonald’s offers extensive customization options for the Chicken Big Mac®. You can remove ingredients such as cheese, lettuce, or pickles, or add extras like:

Bacon strips
Extra slice of cheese
Additional chicken patty
Extra Big Mac sauce
No onions (in the sauce)
Substitute regular bun for the middle layer

These customizations can be made via the in-store digital kiosk, through the mobile app (which offers the most control), or by requesting modifications from a crew member. Keep in mind that availability of certain add-ons may vary by location, and additional charges apply for extra ingredients.

No, the Chicken Big Mac® is not spicy. It’s made with crispy, breaded chicken patties that feature a mild, savory flavor without any added heat or spicy seasoning. Unlike the Spicy McChicken or Spicy McCrispy variants, the Chicken Big Mac® is designed for a broader audience who prefer classic, milder flavor profiles. If you want to add heat, you can request jalapeños or hot sauce packets.

No, they’re distinctly different. While the McChicken patty is thinner, more peppery, and features a homestyle seasoning blend with a softer breading, the Chicken Big Mac® uses thicker, tempura-style chicken patties. These premium patties are designed to provide a significantly crunchier texture and juicier bite, creating a more substantial and satisfying sandwich experience that better matches the Big Mac’s iconic stature.

A single Chicken Big Mac® contains 700 calories, making it a heartier option compared to the original beef Big Mac (which has 590 calories). The calorie count comes from the breaded chicken patties, Big Mac sauce, cheese, and the three-part sesame seed bun.

Here’s the nutritional breakdown:

Protein: 25g
Total Fat: 37g (48% DV)
Saturated Fat: 8g (38% DV)
Carbohydrates: 61g (22% DV)
Sodium: 1410mg (61% DV)

A combo meal with medium fries and a medium Coke adds approximately 470 calories, bringing the total to around 1,170 calories.

Availability of the Chicken Big Mac® is limited and often tied to regional promotions or seasonal menu rotations. It may not be found at every McDonald’s restaurant nationwide, and its availability can be temporary or intermittent. Some markets test it for extended periods, while others only offer it for a few weeks.
It’s best to use the McDonald’s app or website to check if it’s currently offered at a nearby location. You can also call ahead to confirm availability before visiting.

Yes, the Chicken Big Mac® is typically offered as part of a value meal or combo, which includes medium fries and a medium drink by default. You can usually:

Upgrade to large sizes for both fries and drink
Swap the drink for a shake, smoothie, or McCafé beverage
Change fries to apple slices or a side salad (where available)
Add extras like cookies or apple pie

Pricing and meal configurations may vary depending on your local McDonald’s and current promotions.

Yes, every Chicken Big Mac® purchase counts toward the MyMcDonald’s Rewards program. If you’re enrolled, you’ll earn points that accumulate and can be redeemed for free menu items later. Make sure you scan your app or use your linked account when ordering to ensure your rewards are properly credited. The Chicken Big Mac® typically earns the same points as other premium sandwiches.

According to McDonald’s U.S. ingredient transparency updates, the chicken patties and sandwich buns used in the Chicken Big Mac® do not contain artificial preservatives. However, some condiments (like the Big Mac sauce) and processed cheeses may contain naturally derived preservatives for food safety and shelf stability. Full ingredient details can be found on McDonald’s official ingredient statement online or through their mobile app.

Yes, you can request a bunless version of the Chicken Big Mac® as part of a low-carb, keto-friendly, or gluten-sensitive meal preference. Some locations may serve it in a bowl or lettuce wrap format, though presentation may vary by restaurant.
Ordering it bunless significantly reduces the carbohydrate content from 61g to approximately 15-20g (accounting for the breading on the chicken). This is a popular choice among customers watching their carbohydrate intake or avoiding bread.

In the United States, McDonald’s does not offer Halal certification for any of its menu items, including the Chicken Big Mac®. The chicken and other ingredients are not prepared according to Halal standards in U.S. locations.
However, in some countries—particularly in parts of the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, and select locations in the U.K.—certain McDonald’s restaurants may use Halal-certified ingredients depending on local regulations and customer demand. Always check with the specific restaurant or region for confirmation if this is important to you.

No, the Chicken Big Mac® is part of the regular lunch and dinner menu and is not served during breakfast hours. Most McDonald’s locations begin serving lunch menu items, including the Chicken Big Mac®, at 10:30 a.m. on weekdays (or 11:00 a.m. on weekends in some locations).
If you’re craving one in the morning, you’ll need to wait until the lunch menu starts. Some 24-hour locations may have different transitions between menus.

The best way to check availability is by using the McDonald’s mobile app or visiting the official website. Simply:

Enter your ZIP code or allow location access
Browse the digital menu of nearby restaurants
Look for the Chicken Big Mac® in the sandwich section
If it appears in the listing, it’s currently available at that location

You can also place a mobile order through the app to reserve one before heading to the restaurant. Calling ahead is another reliable option.

Yes, some locations allow you to add extra chicken patties to your Chicken Big Mac® to create an even more filling version (essentially making it a “Double Chicken Big Mac”). This modification will significantly increase the sandwich’s calories, fat, protein, and sodium content, and typically incurs an additional charge of $2-3.
It’s an excellent option for those with larger appetites or looking for a substantial protein boost (bringing total protein to approximately 40-45g).

McDonald’s uses classic dill pickle slices—thin-cut, mildly tangy, and slightly salty. These crisp pickles add a refreshing, acidic contrast to the creamy Big Mac sauce and rich, crispy chicken, enhancing the overall flavor balance of the sandwich. The pickles are the same ones used on the original beef Big Mac, maintaining that authentic Big Mac taste.

Currently, there is no official plant-based version of the Chicken Big Mac® in the U.S. or most global markets. However, McDonald’s has tested the McPlant®—a plant-based beef-style burger—in select regions through a partnership with Beyond Meat.
As of now, a chicken-style plant-based Big Mac hasn’t been released, though it could be considered in the future based on customer demand and the success of plant-based chicken alternatives in the market. Some international markets are testing plant-based chicken options, but U.S. availability remains uncertain.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Chicken Big Mac®:

700 calories
Tempura-style breaded chicken patties
Crunchier texture
25g protein
1410mg sodium
Often limited-time availability

Original Big Mac:

590 calories
Two beef patties
Juicier, meatier flavor
25g protein
1050mg sodium
Permanent menu item

Both share the same Big Mac sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and three-part sesame seed bun. The main difference is the protein choice and texture—chicken offers crunch while beef provides that classic savory taste.

If you’re a Big Mac fan looking for variety, absolutely. The Chicken Big Mac® offers:

The familiar Big Mac experience with a chicken twist
Crispy, crunchy texture from tempura-style breading
Same iconic Big Mac sauce you love
Good protein content (25g)
A fun limited-time option to try before it’s gone

However, keep in mind it’s higher in calories (700 vs 590) and sodium (1410mg vs 1050mg) compared to the beef version. If you’re watching your sodium intake or prefer traditional beef burgers, the original Big Mac might be the better choice.
