McChicken is the name of a chicken sandwich sold by McDonalds in many countries. The sandwich consists of a chicken patty, lettuce, and McChicken Sauce (a mayonnaise-like sauce) on a bun. The current McChicken sandwich recipe is somewhat spicier than the original. Additionally, in United States, the sandwich is somewhat smaller than it was previously, as it is now on the Dollar Menu, which offers various food products for the price of US$1.00. In Canada, with McChicken still its original size, the one on the dollar menu is called "Junior Chicken"
The shaped chicken patty in the McChicken sandwich is 50% white meat and 50% dark meat. The sandwich was originally introduced in 1980, later removed (and replaced with different chicken sandwiches made with an all-white-meat grilled or fried chicken breast), then reintroduced. #4 sold at stores.
