We tried the special breakfast sandwich McDonald's is testing - and think it could be a huge hit

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

Even better news: McDonald's has since expanded the test, rolling it out to several other regions across Ohio, which suggests that the sandwich has been a big hit in the state so far.

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

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