The Chicken McGriddles sandwich features a McChicken with warm maple griddle cakes. The McChicken Biscuit pairs the McChicken patty with a buttery biscuit.

McDonald’s menu innovation vice-president Linda VanGosen said: “With the nationwide launch of the Chicken McGriddles and McChicken Biscuit sandwiches, we’re giving our customers more of what they crave: mouthwatering chicken and breakfast options.

“McDonald’s is committed to remaining a leader in the quick-service breakfast category through our delicious offerings, consistent menu innovation, and a faster drive-thru experience.”

This move is expected to fend off competition from rivals such as Chick-fil-A and Popeyes, which have started offering chicken sandwiches in their breakfast menu.
