McDonald’s left fans in awe on October 10, 2024, as the chain teamed up with YouTuber and streamer, Kai Cenat, to launch the Chicken Big Mac. The all-new offering pays homage to McD's iconic Big Mac, which has been a fan-favorite since 1968.

The Chicken Big Mac is built on a fluffy sesame seed bun and comes loaded with two juicy chicken patties, lettuce, a special sauce, melty cheese slices, and crisp pickles. It starts at over $8.19 and can be found at participating stores across the United States, and Ireland.

McDonald’s welcomed the Chicken Big Mac with a rhythmic commercial featuring Kai Cenat. The commercial went viral on X (formerly Twitter) in no time, triggering reactions from fans nationwide. Excited to see Kai in the video, a fan commented:

"Looking mad tasty 👀," tweeted another user.
"this is so funny but amazing tho," said one X user.

A few fans who seemed to have tried out the scrumptious sandwich shared how they felt about the flavors as they tweeted:

"Just got one today, it was good. I'll say a 8/10 because i don't want the original OG Big Mac to get mad at me cause that one is a 10/10. Overall, it was good to see something "new" on the menu," said one fan.
"Honestly it isn’t even as bad as I taught it would be," claimed another user.
"I had it today and I’ll keep it real. It’s basically a giant chicken nugget made into a big Mac. That’s all," said one X user.
"I bought one each for the wife and I. I really enjoyed it. Please keep this as a full time option rather than limited," said another fan.
