It's time to grab a Big Mac from McDonald's. But hold the beef patties. And maybe add some chicken instead of beef.

Wait, what?

Even if that sounds crazy, it's true.

A Chicken Big Mac is coming to the menu at McDonald's, an item previously only found on the fast food giant's menus overseas.

“With the introduction of the Chicken Big Mac, we are excited to pay homage to one of our most iconic menu items, the Big Mac, and introduce it to a whole new generation of fans,” said Tariq Hassan, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's USA, says a press release. “By tapping into some of our fans’ greatest passions, from dupe culture to live streaming, we are able to serve more than just a sandwich.”

Interested in grabbing one? Here are the details.

What is a Chicken Big Mac?

It's almost the same as a traditional Big Mac, but instead is made with “two tempura-breaded chicken patties.”

The ingredients are reminiscent of the old Big Mac slogan – “two chicken patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese and pickles on a sesame seed bun,” according to McDonald's.

Are Chicken Big Macs available now?

Not quite. According to a press release, participating McDonald's restaurants will begin serving them in the U.S. starting October 10.

How long will Chicken Big Macs be around?

It's not certain yet, but according to many reports, they will only be on the menu for a “limited time.”
