In the world of fried chicken burgers, few can claim an origin story as iconic as the Big Mary Original Burger. This legendary item traveled from the eastern shores of Canada to food-lovers in India, winning hearts at every MB Chicken outlet along the way. What makes the Big Mary so special, and how did it rise from a Canadian classic to a top pick in India’s premium fried chicken scene?
The Big Mary’s journey began in 1969 at Mary Brown’s Chicken, a family-owned restaurant in St. John’s, Newfoundland. The founders purchased Mary Brown Guthrie’s prized southern fried chicken recipe, and the brand quickly became a household name, known for quality ingredients and handmade preparation. The Big Mary was crafted by hand, always using Canada Grade A chicken breast, and became widely recognized as Canada’s best chicken burger– fresh, juicy, and always made from scratch.
The secret of the Big Mary Original Burger is its simplicity and premium quality:
Whole Grade A Chicken Breast: Sourced fresh, never frozen, delivering juicy tenderness in every bite.
Signature Hand-Breading: MB Chicken’s proprietary blend of spices, carefully hand-breaded for perfect crunch and flavor.
Golden Perfection: Cooked in innovative high-heat cookers that seal in moisture and produce a natural golden colour.
Sesame-Seeded Bun: Soft yet sturdy, designed to hold the generous chicken fillet and toppings.
Classic Toppings: Smooth mayonnaise and crisp iceberg lettuce provide refreshing contrast and signature taste.
Iconic Pickle: The burger is crowned with a tangy pickle, a nod to its North American roots.
Each bite delivers layers of flavor and texture, making the Big Mary a favorite at MB Chicken outlets.
