Chicken fiends rejoice, ‘cos Maccas has announced has officially launched three new chicken burgers which are set to be available across Australia from today.
The burgers range includes three twists on old faves, with the Cheese and Bacon McSpicy, Cheese and Bacon McChicken, and the Cheese and Bacon Deluxe all hitting Aussie menus as of Tuesday, April 28 at McDonald’s restaurants and via McDelivery nationwide.
“We know how much our customers love our core chicken menu, with our McChicken, Chicken Deluxe and McSpicy burgers among some of their favourites,” McDonald’s Australia marketing manager Tim Kenward said of the tasty additions.
“As part of our commitment to giving our customers even more choice, we’re excited to introduce a tasty twist on some of our existing chicken burgers via our new cheese and bacon burger range.
“Serving up the winning combination of bacon and cheese, our new menu items feature 100 per cent Aussie RSPCA Approved chicken and 100 per cent local Aussie produce.”
Check out the drool-worthy descriptions on the new hangover go-to’s below:

Cheese and Bacon McChicken: Macca’s classic McChicken has been enhanced with bacon and cheese. Made with a quality chicken breast cooked in a seasoned tempura coating, topped with fresh Australian grown lettuce and McChicken sauce, all between a sesame seed bun.
Cheese & Bacon Deluxe: Macca’s mouth-watering Cheese and Bacon Deluxe features a 100 per cent Aussie chicken patty in a crunchy golden coating, made with fresh Australian grown lettuce, juicy tomatoes, creamy aioli sauce, and now with the addition of bacon and Aussie jack cheese.
But, like most good things in life, they’ll only be available for a limited time – so you better get your greasy little mitts on them quick.
It comes after Maccas unveiled the latest act tapped for its celebrity meal with it being none other than South Korean heartthrobs BTS.
The Golden Arches have collaborated with the pop icons on a one-of-a-kind “tour” menu, set to hit Aussie shores on May 27th. The BTS Meal includes a 10-piece McNuggets situation, large fries, large soft drink and a sweet chilli and cajun sauce inspired by the flavours of the Bangtan Boys hometown.
“The band has great memories with McDonald’s. We’re excited about this collaboration and can’t wait to share the BTS Meal with the world,” BIGHIT MUSIC shared in a statement.
Meanwhile, in other burger news, fast-food rival Hungry Jacks also announced the return of an old favourite to their own menu – The Yumbo, which is essentially (a far less appetising) five slices of hot ham and melted cheese.
