McDonald's has made this secret burger hack an official menu item

Seems like McDonald's has been keeping track of how you've been messing with its food.

It's figured out that Aussies have been swapping out the Big Mac's beef patties with chicken. So it did the only logical thing and put the often-requested burger on the menu.

Predictably it's called the Chicken Big Mac, and features all the other ingredients you'd get on the burger — lettuce, cheese, special sauce, on a sesame seed bun — but with McChicken patties instead.

Of course the Chicken Big Mac isn't a purely Australian thing. The Chicken Big Mac is sold in Qatar, Egypt, the UAE and the Netherlands — but for the rest of the world you'll have to spend a little more time explaining your order.

Also launching in Australia are the cheeseburger Shaker Fries, which have a seasoning that combines the taste of "beef, onions, pickle, ketchup, mustard and cheese" — you know, like a cheeseburger.

Shaker Fries are oddly a big thing Down Under — a dude who was selling a bag and a sachet of the seasoning for A$1,000 (US$744) back in 2014.

"It's very limited edition," Vandi Huynh told The City at the time. "It comes out less frequently than the Olympics, like once every six years."

Yep, Australians are also pretty weirdly obsessed with fast food.
