McDonald's Says Eat More Chicken For Breakfast
McDonald's Southern-style chicken biscuit tastes like an oversized McNugget in a buttery, greasy biscuit that you've had so many times before.
It's too late to snag a free Southern-style chicken biscuit from McDonald's—the breakfast promotion lasted today between 7 a.m and 10:30 a.m—but if you missed out, don't worry; it wasn't totally free. As we mentioned before, there was a medium or large drink caveat, so the "freebie" cashed in at a minimum of $1.50. Overall, it wasn't the most mind-blowing experience since McDonald's already sells biscuits and chicken McNuggets, and together, they approximate this same taste concept.
But borderline mind-blowing is that you can eat fried chicken for breakfast without hauling to a less-accessible Chick-fil-A or sneaking in last night's leftovers. McDonald's only has the normal-sized sandwich, whereas Chick-fil-A also does an adorable mini version.
McDonald's sells the Southern-style chicken biscuit for $1.99 and $3.39 for the value meal with drink and hash browns. So again, today's "deal" wasn't a huge deal.

You can get the chicken sandwich free til 7pm tonight too...but I'm sure you have to buy a drink for that too.
I got the biscuit sandwich this morning.....I thought it was better than mcnuggets myself.....

I feel bad for people who don't have the blessings of Bojangles nearby, one of North Carolina's gifts to the country. The chicken biscuits there put all others to shame.

In the omaha area the promotion is going today and tommorrow, plus they will give you a sandwich if you get the 1$ sweet tea, so that lowers you freebie price to $1.07 including tax!

Nice call on the Dollar Menu drinks! All the medium and large drinks are in the $1.50 range.
What will you do with your extra few coins?

Chicken for breakfast? Sounds awful but that's just my opinion.
The last thing I would want for breakfast is a deep fried piece of chicken on a biscuit.
Looks like it should be on the "Dollar" menu.

I am in NYC and thought it was pretty great I got a massive sweet tea and chicken biscuit for $1.08. So the biscuit itself gets high marks; the chicken not so much..(Chickfila is so much better!) But the sweet tea does rock. I'll give them that.

Bojangles appeared briefly in New York (there's still one in Bushwick, but that's pretty far off my path). I used to have the chicken biscuit there pretty regularly, and it was mighty fine. Part of what made it so good was that the chicken was spiced with something like Tabasco, and the McD's doesn't match that, but I thought it was a decent savory breakfast, and I expect I will have it again. McDonald's breakfast is under-rated, in general I'd say. There are plenty of times, especially when I am traveling, when it is just what I want.

And we're all eating fast food...why?

I'm with Paris. I can't do chicken for breakfast. Eggs? Hell yeah, but not their mother.

IMHO, there is nothing wrong with eating chicken for breakfast. But if you eat chicken and eggs together, ala a chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit or sandwich, that is cross-generation canabalism.

The radio ads for these things call it a "buttery tasting biscuit" which I assume is the same as "butter flavored topping" in movie theaters.
