McDonald’s in India is bringing back a previously axed menu item after fans created an online petition to save it. While the item was originally dropped due to a perceived lack of popularity, it seems the chain may have to reconsider that stance.
McDonald’s in India announced on Instagram that the Chicken McGrill would return to restaurants as of Monday. The sandwich includes a grilled chicken patty topped with mint sauce, according to the online menu.

You win.” The message then ended by directing fans to their nearest McDonald’s or to the company’s Twitter bio, which includes a link to purchase the sandwich.

According to the news outlet, the Chicken McGrill was removed from the restaurant chain’s menus in 2019 and was considered one of the least popular items on the menu at the time. Since then, a petition was launched on Change.org calling for the sandwich’s return. As of this writing, the petition has reportedly garnered over 1,900 signatures.
