McDonald’s customers furious after noticing McChicken looks “weirdly small”: “They’re so much worse now”

Customers are expressing frustration over the perceived smaller size of McDonald’s McChicken sandwiches, with many claiming the quality has declined. The McChicken, once a budget-friendly option, is now facing backlash as customers compare current sandwiches to older ones, noting thinner patties and lighter buns. Rising prices have exacerbated the discontent, leading to widespread discussion on social media. McDonald’s has denied any changes to the sandwich’s size, attributing the dissatisfaction to customer perception. The controversy comes as McDonald’s plans significant menu updates for 2026, including the introduction of larger burgers and an increased focus on chicken offerings.
