McDonald’s Corp. The fast-food fight for breakfast is heating up. McDonald’s said Tuesday that it will offer chicken sandwiches that are served on griddle cakes and biscuits at the start of the day, for a limited time. The chain faces intense competition from rivals vying for morning customers as well as pressure to step up its chicken offerings after Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen sparked a battle over poultry last year by introducing a chicken sandwich that quickly became a hit. McDonald’s shares gained 0.5% Tuesday.
