Frequently Asked Questions – McChicken®

A McChicken® sandwich provides 400 calories. This includes the breaded chicken patty, mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, and the toasted regular bun. The calorie count may fluctuate slightly when you remove or add ingredients through customization.

The McChicken® features a crispy seasoned chicken patty crafted with boneless white meat chicken, shredded iceberg lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise, all served on a toasted regular bun. It’s a straightforward yet satisfying sandwich offering a balanced combination of crunch and creaminess.

Absolutely, the McChicken® patty is prepared from boneless white meat chicken. The chicken undergoes seasoning, breading, and cooking to achieve a crispy finish. It’s combined with other ingredients for optimal texture and then flash-fried for consistent taste and quality standards.

No, the standard McChicken® isn’t spicy. It’s mildly seasoned and designed to deliver a savory, not spicy, flavor experience. If you’re seeking heat, McDonald’s provides alternatives like the Spicy McCrispy®, which features a spicier chicken filet and spicy sauce.

Yes, you can purchase the McChicken® as part of a combo meal option. Combos typically feature a side of fries and a beverage, creating a complete lunch or dinner solution at an affordable price point.

Yes, the regular bun used in the McChicken® receives light toasting before serving. Toasting enhances both texture and flavor, providing the sandwich with a warm, slightly crispy element that complements the cool lettuce and mayo perfectly.

The McChicken® doesn’t contain dairy-based ingredients in its primary components. However, always verify with your local McDonald’s since sauce formulations may differ slightly by region and cross-contact with dairy in preparation areas remains possible.

Unfortunately no, the McChicken® is not gluten-free. Both the chicken patty and the bun contain wheat ingredients. Additionally, the sandwich undergoes preparation in a kitchen that handles gluten-containing ingredients, creating potential cross-contamination risk.

Absolutely, you can customize your McChicken® by ordering it without mayonnaise. This option is available whether ordering in-store, at the drive-thru, or through the McDonald’s mobile app. Removing the mayo slightly reduces the calorie and fat content.

No, the standard McChicken® doesn’t come with cheese. However, some customers opt to add a slice of American cheese for a small additional fee, depending on the location. Customization options may vary by restaurant.

The McChicken® features shredded iceberg lettuce. Iceberg is selected for its crisp texture and neutral flavor profile, which adds freshness without overwhelming the sandwich’s other components.

Each McChicken® sandwich contains approximately 560 milligrams of sodium. This represents about 24% of the daily recommended sodium intake based on a 2,000-calorie diet, so individuals monitoring sodium should consume it in moderation.

Yes, the McChicken® contains wheat (in both the bun and patty breading) and egg (in the mayonnaise). Additionally, the bun may come into contact with sesame seeds during bakery production, so those with sesame allergies should exercise appropriate caution.

Yes, McDonald’s permits you to customize your McChicken® with available sauce options. You can replace the mayo with spicy pepper sauce, tangy BBQ, honey mustard, or other dipping sauces depending on what’s offered at your specific location.

Yes, at most McDonald’s locations, the McChicken® is prominently featured on the value menu or as part of the “Buy One, Add One for $1” McValue™ deal. It’s among the most affordable sandwiches on the menu, delivering solid taste and exceptional value.
