CHICAGO (LOOTPRESS) – McDonald’s has been listening to its fans on social and beyond, and fans have made one thing clear: they want more chicken. But not just any chicken – they want juicy, dippable perfection. So, countless taste tests later, McDonald’s is ready to reveal McCrispy™ Strips and the all-new Creamy Chili Dip – a flavor-packed duo that’s here to stay. This marks the first time since 2021 McDonald’s has debuted a permanent menu item in the U.S. – available in all participating restaurants nationwide by May 5.
McCrispy Strips are made with juicy, 100% white meat, coated with crispy golden-brown breading and bursting with a bold, new black pepper flavor. McCrispy Strips also come with a perfect pairing – Creamy Chili Dip, a savory, sweet and tangy sauce that unlocks the full Strips experience.
“Since stepping into my new role as a leader of the U.S. business this year, I’ve been excited for fans to get to experience our additional chicken offerings,” said Alyssa Buetikofer, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at McDonald’s. “The demand for chicken strips has been remarkable to see across the industry, so we knew we had to deliver something so craveable that it was worth the wait. We took our time, listened to our fans and created a product we knew they would crave. And the best part is we’re just getting started.”
Fans can get their hands on McCrispy Strips in three- or four-piece counts, served with one or two Creamy Chili Dip sauce cups, respectively. You can also zest up your Strips with your favorite McDonald’s signature sauces – like Tangy Barbecue, Spicy Buffalo, Creamy Ranch, to name a few – and discover your go-to combination.
“When we introduce a new menu item like McCrispy Strips, we know we have a big promise to fulfill to meet our customer’s expectations,” said Cesar Piña, Senior Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer at McDonald’s. “From the farms we source from to how food is prepared in our restaurants, bringing new products to our fans requires collaboration across suppliers, franchisees, and company staff. We hold ourselves to the highest standard and aim to bring fans nothing less than greatness.”
Stay tuned to McDonald’s socials for more juicy updates on how you can dip out and grab the new McCrispy Strips and Creamy Chili Dip via the McDonald’s App, in-restaurant, McDelivery, and the Drive Thru at participating restaurants. You may even see them in some locations today.
And that’s a wrap…at least for now!
