Chicken McMuffin

What is it?

Crispy chicken patty, melted cheese and a toasted English muffin are the core of this breakfast item. It’s built in the McMuffin format, so you get the split muffin’s nooks and crannies instead of a soft bun, plus a more restrained fill than the McChicken range. The chicken is fried, then held with cheese so the heat softens it a little before serving. Compared with other items in McDonald’s breakfast lineup, it’s the poultry option rather than egg or bacon. In Australia, it’s part of the standard breakfast menu and usually comes assembled for quick service, with no sauces or extra toppings.
