We tried the unique breakfast sandwich McDonald's is testing - and it could be the company's next smash hit

The fast-food world exploded at the recent revelation that McDonald's is testing a Chicken McGriddle sandwich.

The new item combines a fried chicken patty and the sweet pancake buns of the McGriddle breakfast sandwich.

Unfortunately, the sandwich is currently available at only 11 McDonald's locations in central Ohio.

Only time - and select Ohioans - will tell if the sandwich has staying power. But we couldn't wait to try it for ourselves, so we decided to construct our own Chicken McGriddle.
