McDonald’s has announced the release of two new Big Mac varieties – and the return of an old favourite – just in time for summer.

From tomorrow, December 1, for a limited time Macca’s fans will be able to pick up a Chicken Big Mac and the all-new Bacon Big Mac – which is the first of its kind in Australia.

The Chicken Big Mac is, as the name suggests, a riff on the classic, but with crispy chicken patties instead of the regular beef. Big Mac purists need not fear, though – all the trimmings remain, including lettuce, pickles, cheese and onions, and the iconic Big Mac sauce.

As for the Bacon Big Mac, fans can expect the beloved burger, but with two rashers of bacon.

The start of summer will also see the return of an old favourite: Macca’s popular Onion Rings with BBQ sauce.

McDonald’s Australia Marketing Director Tim Kenward said the fast food giant is excited to launch its new summer menu items.

“Macca’s is an iconic part of Aussie summer,” he said.

“Whether you’re on the road, at the beach, or watching sport, Macca’s can help customers enjoy great times together by providing delicious flavour combinations you can’t get anywhere else.

“We’re delighted to be bringing back some Aussie favourites, alongside new menu items, giving Aussies more of what they crave this summer.”

The new menu items come a week after the Golden Arches joined forces with Arnott’s to finally give the people of Australia what they want.

For the first time ever, customers can get their hands on a Tim Tam McFlurry – a combination of velvety soft serve with crunchy biscuit pieces and smooth milk chocolate sauce.

The $5.30 dessert marked the beginning of Macca’s biggest summer campaign yet, which will see new flavour combinations, menu items and collaborations hitting franchises from now until February.

“To celebrate the magic of summer, Macca’s is kicking off two months of exciting new menu items, delicious flavour combinations and iconic brand collaborations to help our customers enjoy great times together,” Mr Kenward said.

“At Macca’s we believe great combinations make summer so special, whether that’s sun and surf, friends and family, or Tim Tam and McFlurry.

“We’re so excited to kickstart our summer campaign by introducing one of our most iconic flavour combinations, giving Aussies a delicious dessert to enjoy with loved ones this summer.”
