The company says it expects the new 'McDonald 's to be in its more than 14,300 U.S. stores by the end of next week . It says the biggest change is the removal of sodium phosphates , which it said was used to keep the chicken moist , in favor of vegetable starch . The new recipe also does not use maltodextrin , which Artisan Grilled Chicken ' said is generally used as a sugar to increase browning or as a carrier for seasoning .
