The Pumpkin and Creme Pie is already on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/fall-fast-food-items\/\">fall menu<\/a>, and the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mcdonalds-halloween-boo-buckets\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Halloween Boo Buckets<\/a> will return soon. But wait\u2014there's more.\r\n\r\nIn 2022, McDonald's debuted its Chicken Big Mac in the UK and Ireland, and it sold out completely in 10 days. It was the fast-food chain's most popular launch <em>ever <\/em>in that region.\r\n\r\nDue to its intense popularity across the pond, McDonald's decided to test the Chicken Big Mac at certain locations in Miami in 2022. It made a splash and, now, it seems everyone is on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/we-went-to-8-restaurants-to-find-the-best-fast-food-chicken-sandwich\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chicken sandwich<\/a> train.\r\n\r\nThe people wanted a Chicken Big Mac in the United States, and McDonald's is ready to deliver!\r\n<h2>What is the Chicken Big Mac?<\/h2>\r\nThe Chicken Big Mac is exactly like the regular Big Mac, but instead of two all-beef patties, there will be two tempura-battered chicken patties. That means we'll still have lettuce, pickles, onions, American cheese and Big Mac sauce on a sesame seed bun.\r\n\r\nUntil now, the only way to order a sandwich like this has been via the McDonald's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mcdonalds-secret-menu\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secret menu<\/a>. You had to order two McChickens and a Big Mac and replace the Big Mac's beef patties with chicken. There's no need to DIY anymore because the Chicken Big Mac is the real deal.\r\n<h2>When will the Chicken Big Mac drop?<\/h2>\r\nThis already-popular sandwich is set to drop on October 10, 2024. While we don't yet know the cost, we imagine it'll be close to the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/big-mac-price\/\">Big Mac price<\/a>. It will only be available at participating McDonald's locations for a limited time, so grab one while you can. This historic event deserves to be savored!\r\n\r\n<em>Next Up: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mcdonalds-land-air-and-sea\/\">I Ordered a \u2018Land, Air and Sea\u2019 from the McDonald\u2019s Secret Menu\u2014Here\u2019s What I Thought<\/a>\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Chicken Big Mac is guaranteed to be a big deal in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7801,"featured_media":2057677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[303719,303738],"categories-v2":[308324,308366],"coauthors":[322366],"acf":{"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"ncv_moat_option":"","long_pin_file":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.3 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>McDonald&#039;s Chicken Big Mac Will Drop This October<\/title>\n\n\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mcdonalds-chicken-big-mac-drops-in-october\/\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"McDonald's Chicken Big Mac Will Drop This October","description":"The people asked, and the people shall receive!
