After a series of teasing posts on social media that hinted at a new burger launch, fast-food giant McDonald’s has finally unveiled the much-anticipated culinary mystery.
And for those of us who simply can't resist their delectable chicken offerings, it's pure good news!
Many hopes rested on the iconic McRib's return, while others had a hunch about the McChamp—a crispy chicken burger topped with tangy relish and mayonnaise. But everyone was surprised with the brand’s revelation.
Starting September 20, Macca’s fans can now try their McCrispy burger!
This mouthwatering creation, launched in the US last year, delights the senses with its crispy southern-style fried chicken sandwich topped with crinkle-cut pickles and enveloped in a toasted potato roll.
Early birds have already snapped up the opportunity to sample this offering, with many describing it as a fancy version of the McChicken burger.
Dre Pao, a snack connoisseur on social media, was sceptical about the new burger.
'It’s a close call. It’s got a potato bun, there is definitely a crisper layer on the chicken, and it’s thicker,' he said.
'It’s better than a McChicken.'
Confirming the speculations, a representative of McDonald’s announced: 'We’re excited to confirm that the McCrispy burger range will start to become available in Macca’s restaurants from Wednesday, September 20, ahead of its official launch next week.'
'Our crispiest chicken burger yet, the McCrispy features 100% Aussie RSPCA Approved chicken breast with a crispy coating, topped with fresh shredded iceberg and cos lettuce and a new McCrispy signature sauce, served in a soft glazed bun.’
'We look forward to sharing more of the deliciously crispy details with customers soon.’
This comes after reports that the country is preparing to face a potential chicken shortage of 'significant' proportions.
More than 1,000 workers at Inghams, the country's largest poultry producer—supplying stores such as Woolworths, Coles, ALDI, KFC, and Subway in South Australia and Western Australia—are gearing up for an industrial action on Friday.
The workers are hoping to secure a 6 per cent annual pay rise for the next three years, which equates to an extra $1.50 an hour per worker.
In other news, Macca’s Monopoly Game has made a comeback starting September 6 through October 24, customers can get an amazing selection of prizes with their exciting prize pool of $786 million!
Prizes include two ISUZU MU-X vehicles, $100,000 worth of EFTPOS e-gift cards, a free year’s worth of fuel from Ampol, 10 nights on a Pacific Islands P & O cruise and instant wins like Big Macs, fries, and McCafe coffees.
Previous winners of the game have claimed free fuel for a year, over $250,000 worth of gift vouchers, and a $10,000 THE ICONIC voucher.
