OAK BROOK, Ill. - Fast food chain McDonald's Inc. says it's giving out millions of free samples of its two new chicken menu items.

On May 15th, the Oak Brook-based restaurant chain will give customers samples of its "Southern style" chicken biscuits and sandwiches.

Customers can get the free lunch and breakfast items when they buy any medium or large drink at the company's 14,000 U.S. restaurants.

The promotion's part of McDonald's efforts to convince customers to try their expanded chicken menu.

McDonald's says it expects to give away 8 million breakfast and lunch sandwiches during the daylong event.

Shouldn’t ‘chicken’ be in quotes?

[jmc813]

Dunkin Donuts is giving away iced coffee that day too. Should be a cheap day.

Chick-fil-A is the boss and will not be dethroned. They even are closed on Sundays. The kind of business I like to buy from.

Is chicken on a biscuit for breakfast common in the South?

[Graybeard58]

I wouldn’t eat chicken if they gave me the entire McDonalds chain.

[Disturbin]

Paris Hilton is giving away .....

Oh never mind.

[Disturbin]

No word on free watermelon!

It will be now........

[AppyPappy]

Chicken biscuit with mustard and pickles and a Coke. Breakfast of champions made famous at Biscuitville

They opened a Chick-fil-a here about 6 months ago. I was given a free meal from there, so I tried it out. Iwasn't impressed with the food, and the prices were significantly higher than most other fast food restaurants. I'll stick with KFC for my chicken, I guess.

[i_dont_chat]

Yummy — Yes!

[evets]

HELLZ YEAH!

[aft_lizard]

Unless they come from a chicken like animal then they are the real deal, they are whole pieces not parts clumped together with egg(like the mcnugget).

[unkus]

Popeye’s is best.

...or gator-on-a-stick!....

[kingattax]

youre gonna make everyone hungry there, red

[mnehrling]

Old joke some coworkers and I have. There is a Chinese restaurant in Little Rock and the sign says:
Chinese “Food”.

[richmwill]

Chick-fil-who? Must be a Southern chain.

[Rodm]

I wouldn’t take a Micky-Queer burger even if you paid me to.

[CDHart]

Why not?

[Graybeard58]

Hate it, hate it, hate it.

Popeye’s is best.

Church's is also pretty good - we don't have a Popeye's around here.

[tumblindice]

German-Chinese food: 30 minutes later, you’re hungry for power.

[Moose4]

Yep, sure is. I’m more of a bacon egg and cheese biscuit guy, myself. Or Hardee’s Ultimate Omelet biscuit, that’s another good one.

I see Mickey D’s even stole the “two crucial pickles” from Chick-Fil-A’s original chicken sandwich. (I always get my Chick-Fil-A with no pickles.) But they can’t copy the excellent waffle fries!

[Sloth]

Chick-fil-A rocks.

[Kerretarded]

These are actually pretty comparable to Chick-fil-a sandwiches.

[Red Badger]

youre gonna make everyone hungry there, red

There, that'll fix it!....

[alarm rider]

Please ping me if there is a large beer or Bourbon give away.

[Kerretarded]

But they can’t copy the excellent waffle fries!

NOPE!

I tried the "Southern Style" chicken sandwich... It was breaded chicken with two pickles on a bun. Now the breading was good. But where the heck was the gravy, and what the heck were the pickles doing there?

I'm not up on all Southern dishes, but how is this "Southern Style"?

Me too! Nothing beats a Chick-fil-A sandwich. Best chicken I've ever had away from my mother's table. I've had a McDonald's Chicken biscuit...it was ok, most of boneless breast but I had to wait 10 minutes for it.

[kingattax]

lol

“Is chicken on a biscuit for breakfast common in the South?”

It is for me. ;)

[davisfh]

"No word on free watermelon!"

You can have the watermelon, but it'll cost you a "vote promise."

[L98Fiero]

“I wouldn’t take a Micky-Queer burger even if you paid me to.”

That’s cool. I eat there enough for the both of us.

Started in Atlanta and moved west and a little north. Basically southern for now.

Another good regional is Whataburger here in Texas. Best chain hamburgers you can buy.

[dragnet2]

I gave up on chicken lickin and McDonald’s quicky meal places. That stuff is basically poison.

[rintense]

HORRIBLE!!! Do not try one. I did and it was the worst thing I ever ate.

[for-q-clinton]

On Sunday’s you’ll be at McD’s though (if you want a fast food chicken sandwich).

[alarm rider]

God, I love Whataburger.

Do they still say “We don't start without you”?

I miss them. I think the closest one to me is down on the Virginia coast somewhere.

[WakeUpAndVote]

They do have fresh fruit cups.

[cpanter]

I’ve tried it twice. Didn’t finish either one. Not very good IMO. I don’t blame them for giving them away.

[Seaplaner]

Thanks, but I really prefer food.

[Resolute Conservative]

They now have a “X number of ways” to make your whataburger thing happening. I’ll eat there at least once/twice a week if not more.

[Resolute Conservative]

I never eat at McD’s and when they announced their new company policy on donating to queer orgs it made me have to find another sweet tea provider ( McAlisters is out of the way ).

[swmobuffalo]

Personally I rather like the chicken biscuit. I eat the biscuit by itself and dip the chicken in BBQ sauce! My co-workers think thats weird for breakfast but hey, I like it!

[Kimmers]

LOL
