McDonald’s Has A New Har Cheong Gai Chicken Cutlet At $2

Har cheong gai chicken cutlet at McDonald’s There’s no rest for the product development team at McDonald’s, as they just launched an all-new har cheong gai chicken cutlet – known as Prawn Paste Chicken Cutlet – on the menu!

McDonald’s Has A New Har Cheong Gai Chicken Cutlet At $2

The item has a little hush-hush status, as it is not even showcased on the menu at the counter. Instead, you have to go through the e-kiosk and click under ‘New Items’ to score yourself a patty.

Even so, don’t fret that you won’t get a chance to snag it, as it is sold at all outlets and on GrabFood from now until 23 December. We are pretty certain the patty is the same as the ones used in the Ha Ha Cheong Gai Chicken Burger that released on National Day. Perhaps it is a case of supply and demand, and not many folks were demanding these burger thus the excess stock of HCG patties?

For those who have not had the pleasure of trying the limited-edition har cheong gai burger, the patty comprised of a succulent chicken thigh that’s coated in panko crumbs. It packs an umami punch, though the fermented prawn savour could be stronger.

The golden brown skin is also really crispy, and unveils a fatty, glistening meat within. The cutlet can be a tad salty, so be prepared with a glass of coke.

On that note, I do wish McDonald’s bring back the a la carte McSpicy patties. That spicy fried chicken cutlet was da bomb .
