Released yesterday, the Chicken Big Mac has the Internet going wild over the remixed burger. Allegedly, the sandwich started as a [secret menu item](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-secret-menu) in Australia and its wider release is McDonald's response to the underground hype. The initial release of the sandwich came from the [McDonald's Australia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feisty-mcspicy) website, but the sandwich will also be released elsewhere around the world. Unfortunately for North American consumers, the Chicken Big Mac is not currently available in the US or Canada. McDonald's has recently unrolled several initiatives such as all-day breakfast and delivery options. Based on initial fan response, the Chicken Big Mac will be another hit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Chicken Big Mac:** The release of a Chicken Big Mac by McDonald's has created buzz and excitement among fast food enthusiasts. - **Secret Menu Items:** The popularity of the Chicken Big Mac, which started as a secret menu item, highlights the potential for creative and exclusive offerings in the fast food industry. - **Mcdonald's Menu Innovation:** McDonald's continuous menu updates, including the Chicken Big Mac, demonstrate the company's commitment to staying relevant and appealing to consumer preferences. ### Where This Applies - **Fast Food:** The release of the Chicken Big Mac signifies an opportunity for other fast food chains to remix traditional menu items and create unique offerings. - **Restaurant Chains:** The success of McDonald's menu innovations, such as the Chicken Big Mac, inspires other restaurant chains to experiment with bold and unexpected menu additions. - **Food Delivery:** The popularity of new McDonald's menu offerings like the Chicken Big Mac strengthens the demand for food delivery services, providing opportunities for companies in the food delivery industry to cater to diverse consumer preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tempura-Battered Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-chicken-big-mac.md) - [Remixed QSR Meal Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-remix-menu.md) - [Supersized Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-mcchicken.md) - [Exclusive Cheesy Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-mcchicken.md) - [Ranch-Covered Chicken Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-ranch-mccrispy.md) - [Spicy Macaroni-Topped Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-mac-and-cheese-burger.md) - [Crispy Chicken Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-blt-mcmuffin.md) - [Elevated QSR Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-mccrispy.md) - [Ultra Pickle-Flavored Chicken Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-pickle-mccrispy.md)
