Chicken McDo Brings Everyone Closer at Every Table with the Heartwarming Invitation: ‘Chicken McDo Tayo!’

 

The simple phrase “Kain tayo” carries a depth of meaning that goes far beyond its literal translation of “Let’s eat.” It’s Filipinos’ literal love language, an expression of warmth and inclusion—another way of saying, “You are welcome here. You are part of this.” This gesture of belonging isn’t limited to relatives; it naturally extends to godparents, lifelong friends, trusted neighbors, and even officemates who feel like family.

As Filipino food writer Doreen Fernandez once noted, “To invite someone to eat is to extend not just food, but yourself—your home, your life, your very sense of kinship.” It’s a tradition that turns every meal into an act of connection.

The spirit of togetherness is what McDonald’s celebrates with its Much Malaki, Much Pinasarap Chicken McDo now. It’s big, crispy, and juicy which is a perfect choice for sharing with your friends and family whether a casual weekday dinner, a lively Sunday lunch, or a surprise drop-in from a friend.

“Every meal is an opportunity to bring people closer,” says Ada Lazaro, McDonald’s Philippines Chief Marketing Officer. “Filipinos know that food is best enjoyed when shared, because it’s never just about the flavors on the plate. It’s about the togetherness and the memories made in between bites. With Chicken McDo, every table becomes a space where everyone is welcome, seen, and valued, and where a simple meal stays with you even after the last bite.”

Made for moments that matter, Chicken McDo turns ordinary dining into shared experiences filled with comfort, laughter, and connection. And whether you’re enjoying it dine-in, takeout, or delivery, each serving carries the same message as “Kain tayo”: you belong here.

Now, McDonald’s invites everyone to share that message in the most delicious way possible -- “Chicken McDo tayo!
