My Take on McDonald’s Chicken Big Mac

One thing I’m not very proud of is my love for McDonald’s. Despite countless reminders from my mom about the impact of unhealthy and junk eating, I often give in to the temptation of McDonald’s burgers and fries.

A few weeks ago, while returning from a late Sunday evening soccer game—which was a rough loss—I saw an ad on my phone for the Big Mac Chicken Burger. Since I don’t eat beef, I’ve never had the classic Big Mac, so this caught my attention. Excited, I asked my mom if we could stop by McDonald’s to try it, and she agreed.

Once we got home and I settled in, it was finally time to try something I thought I’d never experience. I took a deep breath 3, 2, 1and took my first bite. Here are my thoughts:

What I liked:

• The Sauce: It added just the right amount of flavor.

• Double Chicken Patties: The chicken tasted alright and had a great texture but was very close to McNuggets.

• Lettuce: It gave a nice fresh touch at the end.

What I didn’t like:

• Cheese: It was too sticky and overly warm.

• Lacking Flavor Variety: It could use a bit more seasoning and something that made it unique.

• Price: At $7.19 in Kirkland, it felt too expensive for what it offered especially when you compare it to the classic big mac which is $5.99 at the same store.

Overall:
I’d rate this burger a solid 6.5/10. With better cheese and a bit more flavor, I think it could truly stand out. I can’t comment on flavors compared to the classic Big Mac, I’d I expected more value for the money and more unique flavors.
