But the discount will only be available on Monday, January 8.
The deal covers the McChicken, which typically costs around £3, and will be available from 11am.
The McChicken is filled with crispy coated chicken, lettuce and delicious sandwich sauce, all in a soft, sesame-topped bun.
If you’re looking to get a McDonald’s fix before then, you’ll be able to pick up a single McMuffin for just £1.19 at breakfast time.

Whether crispy bacon is your filling of choice, or a sausage patty tickles their fancy, you can enjoy their McMuffin with a slice of cheese and a free-range egg in a toasted muffin.
Both deals are only available through the McDonald’s app.
Customers will be able to earn points when they purchase one of these deals by opting into MyMcDonald’s Rewards.
The scheme means every penny spent equals one reward point, so this week’s offers will get you 119 points when grabbing a Single McMuffin and 139 points when picking up a McChicken sandwich.
