Why has McDonald's removed the chicken legend from its menu - and when will it be back?

Fast food fans have been left disappointed that one of their favourite McDonald’s menu selections has become unavailable in many of the chain’s outlets.

The burger chain has removed the item from many of its menus, as supply chain issues continue to affect consumers and businesses across a variety of industries.

Here is everything you need to know about it.

Can I get a Chicken Legend?

According to reports, the popular poultry package can still be attained by visiting one of McDonald’s thousands of stores across the country.

However, the fast food outlet appears to have removed the item from their delivery menu.

McDonald’s and many other fast food businesses delivery services have boomed in recent years, partly in response to coronavirus lockdowns keeping many customers at home.

This means that a large percentage of McDonald’s orders are now placed through delivery services like UberEats.

Fans have been outraged by the lack of their chicken of choice, with one tweeting: “HOW DARE @McDonalds TAKE THE CHICKEN LEGEND OFF THEIR UK MENU AM ABOUT TO KICK OFF!”

“Who’s blimmin idea was it to take Chicken Legends off the menu? I’m stuck now cos I’m a fussy sod,” another added.

A third said: “McDonald’s has taken the Chicken Legend off the menu and that is my villain origin story.”
