We tried the totally unique breakfast sandwich McDonald's is testing — and we think it will be the company's next smash hit

The fast food world exploded at the recent revelation that McDonald's is testing a Chicken McGriddle sandwich.

The new item combines a fried chicken patty and the sweet pancake buns of the McGriddle breakfast sandwich.

Unfortunately, the sandwich is only currently available at 11 McDonald's locations in central Ohio. 

Only time — and select Ohioans — will tell if the sandwich has staying power. But we couldn't wait to try it for ourselves, so we decided to construct our own Chicken McGriddle.

 

So, how to go about constructing your own Chicken McGriddle? It's pretty simple. First, buy a simple Sausage McGriddle, and a Crispy Buttermilk Chicken sandwich.

The humble Sausage McGriddle works best, as there's no egg or cheese to mess with.

After all, it's the buns we're after here. The McGriddle buns are specially formulated with maple syrup crystals within them to give a sweet, syrupy flavor without the sticky mess.
