McDonald's forced to drop the Chicken Big Mac from its menu just a week after its release

High street burger giant McDonald's has announced it will no longer be selling the Chicken Big Mac.

The chicken version of the iconic double decker burger was added to the menu just a week ago, in a promotion that was meant to run through until March.

However, McDonald's says it has been forced to drop the burger from its menu due to overwhelming demand.

A spokesperson from McDonald’s UK&I, told the Manchester Evening News : ‘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.’

McDonald's posted the news on its social media channels, and fans are bitterly disappointed.

Sorcha Alice McKay said: "How can it be sold out if you can make a big Mac or a chicken mcsandwich you can make a chicken big Mac."

Graham Canny said: "How can you sell out when you use the same ingredients for a big mac and the same burger from a Chicken sandwich."
