McDonalds reveal new Chicken Big Mac

McDonald's

McDonald’s hit the headlines when it announced it was introducing a chicken version of the brand’s world-famous Big Mac burger earlier this month.

But if you wanted to sample it for yourself, we’ve got bad news.

This morning, McDonald’s UK tweeted that the burgers have “sold out almost everywhere”, but they promised that it will be back on the menu soon.

Well, that escalated quickly. Your love for the limited edition Chicken Big Mac knew no bounds and it\u2019s sold out almost everywhere. Thank you for lovin\u2019 it even more than we thought you would, it\u2019ll be back soonpic.twitter.com/8hEYNTF90R

Although the offering of two crispy chicken fillets, cheese, lettuce, pickles and Big Mac sauce in a three-layered bun seemed appealing, the burger was greeted with mixed reviews.

Following this morning’s announcement, some fans of the chain were devastated:
