Bollywood Buzz: McDonald’s Chicken Surprise at ₹99!

Chicken lovers now get ready for a delicious surprise. McDonald’s India – North and East’s latest Chicken Surprise burger is making its entry just in time during everybody’s favourite time that is summer holidays. It was launched at an entry-level price of ₹65/-*, a-la-carte (original price ₹69/-) and ₹99/-, as part of 3-piece meal, Chicken Surprise burger is a feel-good, affordable delight for chicken lovers. To promote the new Chicken Surprise burger, the brand has launched a 360-degree marketing campaign focused on announcing the launch of Chicken Surprise burger and Chicken Surprise Meal that will be under the umbrella of McDeal @₹99/-. The campaign is targeted at GenZ emphasizing the brand’s role in making feel-good affordable chicken – which is generally considered expensive and is available for everyone. Leading the campaign is a TVC that narrates a light-hearted, intriguing story showcasing how McDonald’s continues to be a preferred hangout spot for Gen Z, especially for the ones with limited budget. With the new Chicken Surprise on the menu, value conscious chicken lovers have a new reason to celebrate. The TVC features a young group of 5-7 friends in a McDonald’s restaurant – with one of them wearing a birthday cap. They are in front of the ordering counter and signal him to order, expecting a birthday treat for the whole group. He gulps, looks around and in a small (feeble) voice asks, “Kya Khaaoge?” (What would you like to eat?) All his friends respond in unison and say, “Chickaannnn”, expecting chicken meal(s). This is where a worried frown is seen on his face (thinking that treating his friends with chicken meals will probably not fit his budget). He soon gets relieved after noticing the Chicken Surprise Meal @ ₹99/- on the menu. He then confidently announces, “Aaj bhai ka budday hai, sabke liye CHICKEN SURPRISE MEAL” (it’s your friend’s birthday, everyone will get chicken treat). This real-life birthday party scene highlights the latest addition of Chicken Surprise Meal to McDeal starting @ ₹99/- at McDonald’s (India – North and East). McDeal starting @₹99/- now includes choice of a burger out of Chicken Surprise or Veg Surprise or McAloo Tikki, served with regular fries and regular Coke – all for an affordable price of just ₹99/-. Adding Bollywood dazzle to the table, filmmaker Karan Johar expressed his excitement on social media. He announced the launch of the new Chicken Surprise meal at McDonald’s India – North & East, surprisingly priced at Rs. 99.
