If you're a fan of chicken, then McDonald's has got you covered as its brand new McCrispy burger has launched today (October 19) and the promises to be a "game-changer". McDonald's has said it is the "crispiest, crunchiest chicken burger out there", and is the first permanent chicken burger they've launched in 15 years - following on from the grilled chicken burger in 2007.
So, if you're looking for something crispy and delicious to tantalise your tastebuds, look no further. The McCrispy is made with 100% chicken breast fillet, which has been marinated in black pepper and cayenne. It's then topped with McDonald's classic mayonnaise with added cracked black pepper and a savoury roasted chicken flavour to give it a "fancy" and "umami" taste.
If that wasn't enough, the burger is encased in a 4-inch artisan glazed bun, that has a "sweet nutty toasted flavour".
The brand-new burger is available from today for just £6.49 as part of an Extra-Value meal, and if it's anything like the McPlant, it's bound to sell out in some areas, so you better grab one quickly.
TV presenter Maya Jama has been announced as the face of the new burger, and will feature in an advert for it along with several other famous faces, including comedian Leigh Francis, rapper Michael Dapaah and girl-boss gamer Elz the Witch.
Speaking about the new chicken burger, Maya said: "I love a chicken burger, and am a self-confessed chicken connoisseur, so when I found out Maccie’s was launching this new burger, I knew I had to get involved."
To make way for the McCrispy, the Chicken Legend has been axed from the menu, leaving some McDonald's fans fuming.
Many took to social media to express their disappointment, saying removing the burger is not a "good idea" - but will the McCrispy satisfy them?
We got our hands on the coveted chicken burger ahead of its launch to decide whether it's worth the hype, and it's safe to say we were impressed. You can read our full review of the McCrispy here to find out why it's worth the 15-year wait.
