Review
It’s a solid option for sharing, whether with family or friends. The variety it offers 12 Chicken McNuggets and 6 Chicken Selects really hits the spot if you’re craving a mix of flavors and textures.
Each bite has that signature McDonald’s taste, with the nuggets being crispy on the outside and tender inside, while the Chicken Selects bring a meatier, more flavorful punch.
At £11.79, I think it’s pretty good value for what you get, and it easily serves 2-3 people, especially if you add some fries or drinks.
The four dipping sauces (two for each type of chicken) are a nice addition and let you switch things up. Whether you’re into something tangy, spicy, or creamy, there’s a dip to match every bite.
In terms of nutrition, it’s definitely filling, with 1240 kcal, 80g of protein, and 65g of fat. It’s not the lightest meal.
Just be aware of the allergen info, it contains wheat, milk, and mustard, so keep that in mind if you have any dietary restrictions.
Overall, I really enjoyed the Chicken Sharebox. The taste, the crunch, and the variety made it a fun and satisfying meal to share.
It’s not something I’d have every day, but for a treat with friends or family, it’s a great pick.

While it’s a filling and enjoyable option, it’s worth noting the higher fat and calorie content, so it’s best enjoyed as an occasional treat.
Be sure to check the allergen information if you have dietary restrictions.
