An insider said that McDonald's believed it could do more to break the dominance of KFC.
The announcement comes as McDonald's rolls out a premium burger called Chicken Legend in the UK.
The launch TV ad, created by Leo Burnett, will air today (Wednesday). Support advertising includes press, outdoor and online campaigns.
