McDonald's announced that it is testing a new large-sized version of its McChicken sandwich titled the 'Grand McChicken.' This sandwich includes the same ingredients as the original size, meaning it will feature a dollop of McChicken sauce, which is slightly modified mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, and a toasted bun.
The Grand McChicken is currently being tested in several markets in the United States across California, including Fresno, Bakersfield, and more, as well as in Reno, Nevada. The price of the Grand McChicken may vary by location, and it may vary before it sees a wider release, but currently the McChicken retails for a little more than $1 over the original McChicken, costing $4.69 in Reno where a McChicken costs $3.39.
