If you love [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mighty-mcmuffin) breakfast sandwiches, but aren't a huge fan of sausage, you'll be excited to learn that the Chicken McMuffin has finally made its way to America. The only catch is that you'll have to visit McDonald's global HQ restaurant in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood in order to get it.

The Chicken McMuffin is a tasty and hearty breakfast sandwich that has been available across McDonald's Asian locations for some time. Like the original McMuffin, the dish consists of a toasted English muffin topped with American cheese, mayo, and a [crispy McChicken patty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-mcchicken). The dish can also be enjoyed as the [Chicken McMuffin with Egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-white-chicken-breakfast-sandwich), which comes with a freshly cracked Grade A egg. The result is essentially a McDonald's brunch that can be enjoyed completely on the go.
