National McChicken Day - August 26th, 2025

The origins of National McChicken Day date back to 1980 when the iconic sandwich was first introduced by McDonald's. The brainchild of chef Rene Arend, the McChicken was designed to be a competitor to the popular Chicken Sandwich offered by Chick-fil-A. And boy, did it take off! Today, the McChicken is one of the most popular menu items at McDonald's, with millions sold worldwide every year.

So, how do people celebrate National McChicken Day? Well, it's pretty simple really. People gather 'round, McChicken in hand, and give thanks to the culinary gods for this glorious creation. Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. On August 26th, McChicken enthusiasts flock to their local McDonald's to indulge in their favorite sandwich. Some people even go all out and create their own McChicken-themed parties, complete with decorations, games, and of course, plenty of McChickens to go around.

One of the most popular traditions on National McChicken Day is the McChicken Challenge. It's pretty simple: see how many McChickens you can eat in one sitting. Sounds easy, right? Well, trust me, it's not as easy as it sounds. I mean, have you seen the size of those things?! But hey, if you're up for the challenge, go for it! Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Another popular way to celebrate National McChicken Day is by sharing your McChicken love on social media. People take to Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to share photos of their McChickens, along with the hashtag #NationalMcChickenDay. It's a great way to connect with other McChicken enthusiasts and see how people around the world are celebrating this sacred day.

And let's not forget about the deals! Many McDonald's locations offer special promotions and discounts on National McChicken Day. Last year, some locations even offered a "Buy One Get One Free" deal on McChickens. Yeah, it was a real game-changer. So, be sure to check with your local McDonald's to see what kind of deals they're offering this year.

In recent years, National McChicken Day has become more than just a celebration of a tasty sandwich. It's become a symbol of community and camaraderie.
