BURGER chain McDonald’s has pulled the Chicken Big Mac from its menu after it “sold out almost everywhere”.

It was only nine days ago that McDonald’s launched a chicken version of its Big Mac in the UK and Ireland.

The limited-edition new burger went on sale on February 2, but only in participating restaurants until March 15.

The burger consists of two crispy coated chicken patties made with 100 per cent chicken breast meat, a slice of cheese, lettuce, pickles and the signature Big Mac sauce.

The Chicken Big Mac cost £4.09 or £5.59 for a Chicken Big Mac Meal.

For those who are counting calories, there are 544 in a Chicken Big Mac, and 509 in a standard one.

But now it has been pulled, with the burger chain citing "high demand" as the reason.

McDonald’s said on Twitter: “Well, that escalated quickly. Your love for the limited edition Chicken Big Mac knew no bounds and it’s sold out almost everywhere. Thank you for lovin’ it even more than we thought you would, it’ll be back soon.”

The fast-food giant previously said the addition of the Chicken Big Mac to its menu followed a high number of requests from customers.

It described the burger as “the classic Big Mac we all know and love” complete with triple-layered bun, two 100% chicken breast patties in a crispy coating, a slice of cheese, lettuce, pickles and the Big Mac sauce.

The Double Big Mac, Mozzarella Dippers and the McFlurry in Galaxy Chocolate and Galaxy Salted Caramel also returned, while the recently introduced McPlant will become a permanent fixture in all restaurants across the UK and Ireland.

They will remain on the new menu has planned.

Good news for beef fans who want to try the double Big Mac.

McDonald’s said: “Fear not, our other twist on a classic is sticking around. The delicious Double Big Mac is here until 15th March and download the McDonald’s App now to be first to hear about our week of deals & discounts starting on Monday.”

McDonalds is well-represented in North Wales with branches in Mold, Wrexham, Queensferry, Flint, Broughton, Llandudno, Rhyl, Abergele, and Bangor. and along the A55.

Cheshire too has its fair share, with branches in Chester and Cheshire Oaks.
