McDonalds Canada has introduced chicken to their breakfast menu. This is the same chicken patty used in their Junior Chicken sandwich. It’s not a grand addition to their menu but at least it gives you more options than pork or egg. They are promoting the Chicken McMuffin and Chicken McGriddle for $2.49, but don’t forget your McDonalds Coupons to use.
The Chicken McMuffin and Chicken McGriddle sandwiches are only available until 11am on the breakfast menu.
I would have thought a plant-based burger would be the next step as other major fast food chains have started introducing veggie burgers to cater to vegetarians and flexitarians.
We bought the Chicken McMuffin and Chicken McGriddle for breakfast for a taste test. Also, I made my own creation too because a McMuffin isn’t complete without an egg.
Chicken McMuffin
The chicken McMuffin has breaded seasoned chicken patty, made with chicken raised on Canadian farms with mayonnaise style sauce, a slice of processed cheddar cheese on a toasted English muffin.
We did notice the chicken patty is salt and pepper heavy.
Chicken McMuffin with Egg
I thought the Chicken McMuffin was a bit basic, so why not complete with a good ol’ egg. What came first? The chicken or the egg? Why not both?
The egg makes the Chicken McMuffin most filing and satisfying. The egg helped dial back the amount of salt and pepper to the overall taste. Definitely recommend adding the egg. The egg is $1.30 extra, so it comes to $3.79.
Chicken McGriddles
The Chicken McGriddle has a breaded seasoned chicken patty, made with chicken raised on Canadian farms, and between two maple-flavoured griddle cakes.
Once you take it our from the bag, you can really smell the maple in the griddle cakes. It is sweet but it pairs nicely with the chicken. Imagine chicken and waffles from McDonalds.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I personally still prefer the sausage patty over the chicken patty. If you don’t eat pork, this is a good alternative. Perhaps a grilled chicken patty would have been better to reduce the amount of salt, but thats just my personal opinion.
You can also get a Junior Chicken Sandwich and add an egg to it if its past 11am.
