McDonald's fans enraged as iconic burger is axed from the menu

Earlier today, fast food giant McDonald's unveiled what will be on the Christmas menu this year.

On offer there's two new burgers - a new Festive Stack and Festive Crispy Chicken.

Also on the menu is everyone's favourite - Cheese Melt Dippers - YUUUUUM.

These are breaded camembert dippers served with a tangy tomato dip and cost £1.89 for a box of four, or £5.09 for a sharebox.

Dessert-wise, there's the Celebrations McFlurry and the Festive Pie - classic hot crispy pie filled with mincemeat and custard.

However, the Christmas menu means McDonald's has had to make a huge sacrifice, and it's one of the UK's favourite burgers that's been given the chop.

From November 17 (which is when fast food fans will be able to buy the McDonald's Christmas offerings), the Chicken Legend won't be available to order in any UK stores.

Some fans have already noticed the Chicken Legend's absence, and they are horrified.

"DID MACCIES GET RID OF THE CHICKEN LEGEND … HELLO?!" tweeted one angry customer.

"As if enough bad s*it hasn’t happened to me today I’ve just seen that McDonald’s are getting rid of the chicken legend next week," wrote another.

Another said: "Not to be rude but why tf have @McDonaldsUK GOT RID OF THE CHICKEN LEGEND."

A fourth perplexed Twitter user said: "I hope the rumours for removing the chicken legend off your menu aren’t real. You still haven’t put the breakfast bagels back on the menu yet. You are removing EVERYTHING good off your menu. Please stop it."

A fifth wrote: "I know wtf. Gutted the chicken legends gone."
