After years of relentless campaigning by devoted fans, McDonald's has finally given in to public demand. The fast-food giant is now trialling a 13-piece Chicken McNuggets option in selected UK locations.
The Nugget Revolution
For decades, McDonald's customers have been limited to 6, 9, or 20-piece McNugget options, leaving many craving that perfect mid-point portion. The new 13-piece offering bridges this gap perfectly, satisfying those who find 9 nuggets too few but 20 too many.
Where to Find Them
The trial is currently running in specific McDonald's branches across the UK, though the company hasn't disclosed exactly which locations. Customers are encouraged to check their local restaurant's menu or ask staff about availability.
Why 13 Pieces?
This unconventional number actually makes perfect sense for sharing:
- Two people can split them with one extra (6.5 each)
- Four people get 3 each with one leftover
- It's the perfect upgrade from the 9-piece for hungry individuals
The move comes after years of social media campaigns and petitions from McNugget enthusiasts who felt the existing portion sizes didn't meet their needs.
Price and Availability
While pricing may vary by location, early reports suggest the 13-piece sits comfortably between the 9 and 20-piece options in terms of cost. The trial will determine whether this becomes a permanent menu item nationwide.
McDonald's UK stated: "We're always listening to our customers and exploring ways to improve our menu. The 13-piece McNuggets trial is a direct response to customer feedback."
