McDonald's Plans To Test Bigger Burgers in 2024

No stranger to beefing up its menu items, McDonald's recently brought back its Double Big Mac for a limited time. Quite the behemoth, the Double Big Mac is made using four beef patties.

It appears McDonald's is taking the saying “go big or go home” to heart. On Wednesday, McDonald's confirmed that its teams around the world are working on rolling out a “'larger,” more “satiating burger,” according to the brand's CFO Ian Borden.

McDonald's CFO Ian Borden said the company's team of chefs from around the globe has developed a "larger, satiating burger," which they plan to roll out in certain parts of the world in 2024. And if the bigger burger is a success during the limited rollout, McDonald's may debut it worldwide.

The chain announced it will be taking its Big Mac and multiplying the meat by two for a returning menu item. That's right: the Double Big Mac, with its four (count 'em, four) burger patties, is back after a four-year hiatus.

McChicken Big Mac

One of the more formidable McDonald's secret menu burgers, this sandwich involves replacing the three buns of the Big Mac with McChicken patties instead of bread. Another less expensive version uses the McDouble instead of the Big Mac and uses only two McChickens.

Double Big Mac price

The Double Big Mac is double the fun with four 100% all-beef patties. It's topped with pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, finely chopped onions, our iconic Big Mac sauce, and a slice of American cheese, all sandwiched between a fluffy sesame seed bun.

The new recipe is described as "a buttery, brioche-style" bun with a "soft and pillowy" texture. McDonald's has also scaled back the number of sesame seeds on each bun. They look great, taking on a shine thanks to a light glaze.
