For one day only, McDonald’s is practically giving away their beloved McChicken burgers for free, selling them for just $1.

The delicious deal – put in place to celebrate the so-called “middle child” of the fast food giant’s menu – means that customers can pick up a burger for one clam if ordered via the MyMaccas app.

“The McChicken is the middle child of the Macca’s menu, often overshadowed by its equally delicious but more popular siblings the Big Mac and Cheeseburger,” McDonald’s marketing director, Tim Kenward, said in a statement.

“Today, for one day only, it’s all about the McChicken and rewarding our customers for their loyalty, because value means more at Macca’s.

“We felt it was time to put the McChicken front and centre – giving this middle child its moment.

“So, for all the middle children out there, including my sister, this one’s for you.”

In case you’re not familiar, the burger consists of a 100 per cent Australian RSPCA Approved chicken breast, cooked in a seasoned tempura coating and topped with fresh, locally-grown lettuce (a true luxury in this day and age) and Macca’s iconic McChicken sauce, all housed in a sesame seed bun.

The Golden Arches have been on a bit of a campaign over the past week to expose the McChicken as a “menu middle kid”.

Just want to finally shine the spotlight on all those menu middle kids out there. We'll go first:
We love you McChicken.

“Just want to finally shine the spotlight on all those menu middle kids out there. We’ll go first: We love you McChicken,” they tweeted last Tuesday.

To which M&M’s Australia responded, controversially identifying “crispy [as] our treasured middle child”.

“Here’s to all the crispy middle kids out there. Chocolate or chicken, we love you all the same,” Macca’s wrote in response.

You can snag your $1 McChicken between 10:30am and 11:59pm today, July 14, via the MyMacca’s app – with one redemption available per customer.
