Noun. McGriddle (plural McGriddles) A type of breakfast sandwich sold by the international fast food restaurant chain McDonald's that typically consists of fried bacon, a scrambled egg flap, and American cheese served on two small griddlecakes made with maple flavoring.

The Chicken McGriddle, however, lacks the same components. There is no egg or cheese, just a peppery McChicken patty sandwiched between McDonald's signature pancake bread. And, as we all know, the McChicken patties aren't hand dredged with a hefty batter, so don't expect added crunch.

The McGriddle version simply has the chicken sandwiched between two warm maple griddle cakes (the regular one has a sausage patty instead). Meanwhile, the McMuffin version is the chicken patty with a bit of mayo and a slice of American cheese sandwiched between buttered English muffins.

"The reason pancake bread is so successful in the bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle as well as the sausage, egg, and cheese McGriddle is that the inherent sweetness - via pockets of gooey maple syrups - is countered by the salt of breakfast meats," a reviewer for Thrillist wrote.

The McGriddle was released in 2003, predating the sweet and savory craze by nearly a decade. It was expertly crafted by the same fast-food genius behind the Meat Lover's Pizza and Smashburger. It's a perfectly balanced breakfast harbinger of sweet and salty flavors. Here's why it's the perfect sandwich.

While the McGriddle is a tasty creation, the most pleasurable thing about the sandwich isn't the pancake or the bacon: it's the calories. According to a recent paper in Neuron, the brain also receives rewarding input from metabolic processes that have nothing to do with the tongue.

None of the McGriddles were exactly my cup of tea, but I thought the bacon did a better job than the sausage at counteracting the sweetness. Plus it was noticeably less greasy. Unfortunately, it was inconsistently crunchy in some bites and flimsy in others, and the egg was once again a sad, flavorless mass.

Despite having a similar shape and size, it is reasonable to assume that a McGriddle costs more to produce than a McMuffin. The reason for the higher cost lies in its two maple syrup soaked pancake griddles, which are very different compared to normal breakfast buns at McDonald's.
