**CHICAGO – Oct. 3, 2024** – Get ready to experience a new take on a fast food icon! McDonald’s is introducing the Chicken Big Mac, a limited-time offering featuring two tempura-battered chicken patties instead of beef, but with the same familiar Big Mac toppings.

The Chicken Big Mac, which has already been popular in other countries, will hit participating U.S. locations starting Oct. 10. “We’re excited to pay homage to one of our most iconic menu items,” said Tariq Hassan, McDonald’s Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer. “We’re serving up more than just a sandwich, and bringing experiences that will surprise and delight.”

This clever move generated buzz and fueled anticipation for the official launch.
