6) what is mcchicken sauce
Oh yes, what is the “secret sauce” that is found on the Mcchicken? What is the “Mchicken sauce”?
After trying one for this review, I can safely say that it’s basically mayonnaise. Problem solved. Check out the nutritional information for more details.
7) What is a Mcchicken made of
There is a great debate about the actual meat content of some of the chicken products that Mcdonalds uses. This has more to do with the questionable content of the chicken Mcnuggets.
Some claimed that they were ground up chicken parts that even could be light on the chicken. Some said that beaks, feet and a “pink slime” were included in the nuggets. These reports were proven to be untrue, as the basic chicken mcnugget was really just ground chicken parts.
The Mchicken patty itself is described as a 50 percent blend each of white and dark meat breaded chicken pattie. YUM
7) What is the difference between a McChicken and a Junior Chicken
This is interesting. In most places in the USA, they don’t have an item called “junior chicken”.
Heres what I think..
I believe that this is a Canadian and British thing. As the Mcchicken is on special in some American locations for $1, it wasn’t necessary to make a budget version. These other countries developed a value sandwich to account for this discrepancy.
The consensus is that the junior chicken meat may be of a lower quality than the Mchicken. So if you are in these countries that feature the Junior chicken and need a break on your budget, try the junior chicken. Also, they call the Junior Chicken a “mayo chicken” in the UK.
8) why is #mcchicken, mcchicken trending right now
Good question. I’m not sure. Probably because they are so delicious! Also they have released a lot of different flavours in certain locales like Spicy chicken etc. Bon Appetit!
9) Mchicken review
My favourite part!!
A McChicken is a real treat to eat. I love the yummy mayonnaise, the heaps of lettuce and the juicy, salty chicken. I like how the creamy mayonnaise complements the dark and white parts of the sandwich pattie. Of course, at near 400 calories, you wouldn’t want to eat these three times a day, but they do provide a decent alternative to the beef burgers that fast food offers.
I was satisfied after eating the mcchicken sandwich. Ive had many of these in my life and I still don’t mind these once or twice a month. When they go on special for $1 (or junior chicken in other countries) it’s hard to beat the taste and value. Bon appetite! Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
