McDonald’s has just announced its latest menu shake-up and suffice to say, fans are not pleased with the company’s decisions.

Just ahead of winter, McDonald’s is going through another menu over-haul. The Sun reported that the fast-food company has made some major changes including axing one very popular item, which has caused widespread uproar of fans on social media.

McDonald’s axes Chicken Legend

The biggest casualty of the new menu shake-up for fans has been the McDonald’s Chicken Legend, which will be discontinued from the McDonald’s menu from 19 October. The burger was available with cool mayo, bbq and hot and spicy mayo flavours.

Fans took to social media in large numbers to express their anger and disappointment at the decision.

One fan Tweeted,

Just found out McDonald’s is removing chicken legend off their menu. I’m going to need a few days to process this

Another writes,

Why can't you introduce this as a temporary item and then bring back the Chicken Legend in a few months time? You are about to lose hundreds, if not thousands of regular customers who go to McDonald's specifically for a Chicken Legend meal!

Similar sentiments are being echoes by most fans on social media.
