McDonald's Chicken Big Mac taken OFF menu just days after launch

The Chicken Big Mac has been removed from the McDonald's menu - just days after it was first launched.

The eagerly-antcipated alternative to a fast food classic simply proved too popular and has sold out everywhere.

The item was a limited edition and, after becoming available on February 2, McDonald's announced just nine days later that it is no longer available for burger fans everywhere.

The company said in a tweet: "Well, that escalated quickly.

"Your love for the limited edition Chicken Big Mac knew no bounds and it's sold out almost everywhere. Thank you for lovin' it even more than we thought you would. It will be back soon."

It's not yet known when the Chicken Big Mac might return. But, if you didn't get your chance to get your hands on one, the good news is this definitely isn't its last appearance on the McDonald's menu.

The company says it is taking the chance to recover, restock and reload - before relaunching the hugely popular item all over again.

A spokesperson from McDonald’s UK&I, said: "We have been delighted by our customers’ reaction to the limited-edition Chicken Big Mac.

"The demand has been incredible and we simply cannot keep up. As such we’ve made the decision to pause the promotion, let our restaurant teams and suppliers restock and get ready for its return in a few weeks.

"We’ll keep customers informed about its return through the usual channels. Thank you to everyone who has made this our most popular launch ever. We can’t wait to bring it back for even more customers to enjoy."
