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, after a tough Sunday soccer loss, I saw an ad for the Big Mac Chicken Burger on my phone. I don’t eat beef, so I’ve never had the regular Big Mac, and this one looked good. I asked my mom if we could try it, and we grabbed one from the McDonald’s drive-thru on the way home.
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 added good flavor.
The double chicken patties were decent and had a nice texture kind of like McNuggets. I personally prefer the Hot n’ Spicy McChicken patty, maybe because of my Indian roots and love for spicier food.
The lettuce made it feel fresh, but nothing special.
What I didn’t like:
The cheese was too sticky and too warm.
It didn’t have much variety in flavor just tasted like extra meat with no new twist.
At $7.19 in Kirkland, it felt overpriced, especially since the regular Big Mac is only $5.99.
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 for stand out beyond an extra chicken patty.
