McChicken

Mayo-dressed fowl sandwich

McChicken is a chicken sandwich sold by McDonald's, featuring a breaded chicken patty, mayonnaise, and shredded lettuce on a plain bun.

The name has become shorthand for basic, inexpensive fast food: I only have five bucks—I'm getting a McChicken.

Like other McDonald's products, it sometimes appears in internet humor and memes.
