Canada is known for its iconic Big Mary, which is considered to be the country's favorite chicken sandwich. However, in the UK, there are plenty of options for fried chicken lovers, including KFC, Popeyes, Wingstop, Slim Chickens, and various late-night chicken shops. The highly anticipated return of Chick-fil-A in 2025 is also something to look forward to. But before that, another fast-food chain from across the Atlantic is making its way to the UK.
Mary Brown's Chicken, also known as MB Chicken, is opening its first store in England next week, in London. While the chain has been a Canadian institution since 1969 and has a few locations in Northern Ireland, this will be its first venture into England. From November 6, Londoners will have the chance to try out the chicken spot that has been winning over KFC fans and receiving some interesting reviews.
Some customers have claimed that Mary Brown's chicken is so good that it changes their fast-food preferences for good. In fact, some people are willing to wait up to 30 minutes for their chicken to be ready. On social media, others have raved about their experiences, with one person saying they always enjoy Mary Brown's chicken more than KFC. The chain has even been hailed as "god tier" by some.
Even on Reddit, people have been impressed by Mary Brown's Chicken, with some saying it's far tastier and fresher than KFC. The Big Mary burger, in particular, has gained a lot of attention, being dubbed as Canada's favorite chicken sandwich. It features a chicken breast breaded in the chain's signature recipe, served on a sesame seed bun with mayo, lettuce, and a pickle on top.
When the chain opens in the UK, the menu will have a few differences from the Canadian version, but all the popular items will still be available. These include Taters, which are similar to potato wedges, various signature chicken options and combos, Chicken Pop-Ins, Chicken Tenders, a spicy version of Big Mary, and flaky buttermilk biscuits. The UK menu will also feature new items like MB Soft-Serve Ice Cream, Shakes, and Halloumi Fries.
One unique dish that will be available in the UK is the Tater Poutine, which is a twist on the traditional Canadian dish. Instead of fries, it will feature the chain's signature Taters, topped with shredded cheese and smothered in house-made gravy. The chain currently has over 200 locations across North America and plans to continue expanding globally, with new stores in the UK, Pakistan, and Mexico in 2024. Their goal is to have 150 international stores within the next five years.
