McDonald’s World Cup menu item has fans begging for return of classic meal

by

A special McDonald’s item created for the World Cup is sparking requests for a popular menu option that hasn’t been available for a while.

As the 2026 World Cup approaches, many food and drink companies are releasing special, limited-edition products to mark the event this summer.

Since McDonald’s is a major sponsor, they always participate in the World Cup festivities. In the past, they’ve offered free soccer balls with meals, created special menu items inspired by the teams, and generally gone all-out to celebrate the event.

McDonald’s is celebrating the World Cup with special menus now available in several countries. In Germany, they’re offering a Crispy Chicken Dog that’s similar to a popular item many customers already love.

Crispy Chicken Dog reminds McDonald’s fans of Chicken Legend

Fans have noted that the new Crispy Chicken Dog is similar to the popular Chicken Legend, a menu favorite for 15 years.

The Crispy Chicken Dog stands out because it’s served like a traditional hot dog – instead of a crusty roll, it uses a soft bun.

The popular Chicken Legend sandwich was removed from the menu in 2022, and customers have been asking for it back ever since. Demand is growing again now that a similar Crispy Chicken Dog is being sold in Germany.

TikTok users are pleading for the return of the Chicken Legend sandwich. Many commented variations of “Bring back the Chicken Legend!” and welcomed the news of its potential return.

McDonald’s in Germany has been making headlines recently. They started in April with a special purple menu to honor the character Grimace, featuring a BBQ burger and sauce both colored purple.

Fans immediately asked McDonald’s in the US and across Europe to offer the purple cheese as well. Many expressed their disappointment online, with one person writing, “I wish we had this!” and another asking, “Why isn’t this available in the US?”
