McDonald’s fans ‘devastated’ and ‘crying’ as it axes menu favourite as part of huge shake-up

MCDONALD’S fans have been left “devastated” and “crying” after the fast food chain said it is removing a popular item from its menu.

Chicken Legends are being removed from the McDonald’s menu next week as part of a huge shake-up.

The new menu includes a range of new snacks such as mini-potato waffles, the McCrispy burger and nacho cheese wedges.

But to make way for the changes, McDonald’s announced it was axing all forms of Chicken Legends from its menu on Wednesday, October 19.

This includes cool mayo, bbq and hot and spicy mayo flavours.

Fast food fans have taken to social media to share their outrage at the decision.

“Just cried because McDonald’s is getting rid of the Chicken Legend”, said one Twitter user.

Another added: “First bagels, and now the Chicken Legend. I’m devastated.”

While a third said: “McDonald’s getting rid of the Chicken Legend has actually ruined my day.”

McDonald’s also announced that it is removing the Big Tasty burger.

The new menu items will be available at McDonald’s branches nationwide from October 19 – but the nacho cheese wedges will be joining the menu on the slightly later date of November 26.

If you have more of a sweet tooth, don’t worry, because there’s something on the menu for you too.

A brand new Twirl McFlurry is also joining the menu.

It is made with ice cream and pieces of Cadbury’s Twirl with Milk chocolate sauce.

The sweet treat will set you back £1.69 for a regular size, or £1.19 for a mini.

But fast food fans are being urged to be quick, as all the new menu items – except for the McCrispy – will only be around for the next six weeks.

In July, McDonald’s revealed it would be adding up to 20p to a number of menu items.

The much-loved 99p cheeseburger increased in price for the first time in 14 years, and now costs £1.19.

But Maccies isn’t the only fast food outlet releasing a new menu.

Burger King has announced the launch of its brand new Memphis Chicken Burger.

It has also announced that the Memphis King beef burger is returning to the menu.

They will be available nationwide from October 18.

How can I save on my McDonald’s order?

There are always ways you can save on your next trip to McDonald’s.

You should choose your branch wisely – menu prices can vary across different restaurants just a couple of miles apart.

We’ve seen Big Mac meals up to 30p cheaper before, which added up over the course of a year could save you a fair few pounds.

You can also get freebies on your birthday if you’ve got the My McDonald’s app.

Remember to log your date of birth on the app though – otherwise you’ll miss out.

You can get a Big Mac and fries for just £1.99 as well if you fill out the quick feedback survey following your last visit.

All you’ll need is your receipt which should have been issued no more than 60 days after your visit.

A 12 digit code will be printed on the proof of purchase and then you can enter the McDonald’s Food for Thought website to fill out a quick survey.
