What Kind of Breakfast Person Are You?

Four quick picks. Find your perfect morning match.

When breakfast hits right, it's because...

• Sweet and savory are fighting — and both are winning — You're built for the Honey Brown Butter moment. That sauce is sweet without being cloying, rich without being heavy — designed for exactly this kind of back-and-forth on the palate.
• It's savory all the way — bacon, salt, smoke — The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit is your move. Thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, folded egg, American cheese — the honey brown butter adds depth without tipping into sweet territory.
• Something crispy is always involved — The Chicken Biscuit is calling. The crunch of the crispy chicken patty against the soft buttermilk biscuit is the whole game — and the honey brown butter ties it together.
• Honestly, I'll eat whatever's fastest — Good news: both sandwiches are grab-and-go ready. Check McDonald's breakfast hours at your location before you head out — they can vary.

How do you feel about a good biscuit?

• A great biscuit can make or break the whole sandwich — The biscuit here is soft and slightly flaky — sturdy enough to hold everything together but tender enough to soak up the Honey Brown Butter sauce rather than resist it.
• The filling is what matters, the biscuit is just the vehicle — Fair — and the fillings deliver. On the bacon version, smoky and salty meet sweet honey brown butter in every bite. On the chicken version, crunch and sauce carry the whole thing.
• I'm a toast or English muffin person, honestly — This might be the sandwich that converts you. The buttermilk biscuit is built to absorb the honey brown butter in a way that a firmer bread wouldn't — it changes the whole texture experience.

Classic chicken biscuit, or bacon, egg & cheese — which side are you on?

• Chicken biscuit, always — The Honey Brown Butter Chicken Biscuit adds a new dimension to the classic without overcomplicating it. No cheese — just crispy chicken, soft biscuit, and that sauce doing all the tying-together.
• Bacon, egg and cheese is the gold standard — The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit layers the honey brown butter sauce over a folded egg, thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, and American cheese. The smoky-sweet back-and-forth is what makes it.
• I want both, I refuse to choose — Both are available at participating locations right now — and the Honey Brown Butter Chicken Biscuit is currently being offered free. That's a reasonable way to compare.

How do mornings usually go for you?

• Up early, breakfast is a ritual — You'll have no trouble catching these before the breakfast window closes. McDonald's breakfast hours vary by location, so it's worth checking ahead if you're planning an early run.
• I make it out the door — barely — McDonald's lets you place a pickup order directly on their website so you can skip the line. Both new sandwiches are built for the grab-and-go moment.
• Breakfast usually happens at my desk — The biscuit is sturdy enough to hold everything together on a commute — and the Honey Brown Butter Chicken Biscuit is free right now, which makes the detour easier to justify.

Brown butter — known in French kitchens as beurre noisette, or 'hazelnut butter' — is made by cooking butter just long enough for the milk solids to toast and caramelize. The result is something deeper and nuttier than regular melted butter, with a warmth that plain butter simply can't match.

Add honey to that, and you get a sauce that's sweet without being cloying, rich without being heavy. It's the kind of thing that sounds simple on paper but can genuinely change the character of whatever it touches.

Bacon vs. Chicken: Side by Side

On the bacon sandwich, the Honey Brown Butter sauce gets layered over a folded egg, thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, and American cheese, all stacked on a warm buttermilk biscuit. The smoky, salty bacon and the sweet honey brown butter create a back-and-forth on the palate that keeps each bite interesting.

The chicken version makes a notable swap: out goes the bacon and cheese, and in comes a crispy chicken patty. Without the cheese, the sandwich leans into a cleaner sweet-and-savory contrast — the crunch of the chicken against the softness of the biscuit, with the honey brown butter doing the work of tying everything together. For anyone who's grown up loving a chicken biscuit, this version adds a new dimension without overcomplicating things.

Both sandwiches fit into the broader American tradition of sweet-meets-savory at breakfast — the same instinct that put maple syrup on sausage and jam on a bacon biscuit. McDonald's isn't reinventing the wheel here, but they're giving it a genuinely thoughtful spin.
